Before you adopt, please remember that this is a lifelong commitment.  You're not just bringing a pet into your home; you're gaining a family member who relies on you to give them a wonderful life, lots of cuddles, love, and care.  Make sure it's the right time for you and your family to adopt before making an impulse decision.
