Pets not best surprise

Standard Freeholder, December 23, 2014

Angie Parker, founder of Roy & Cher's Animal Rescue, agreed that animal companions should not be given as gifts.

"It's not the best idea. When a new animal arrives in the home, it needs a calm environment. At Christmas there are children opening gifts, the Christmas tree and visitors coming in and out."

Parker said her concern about a companion as a gift is the animal could unintentionally get neglected during the holidays as people rush to visit or need to travel to see family. It can be very distressing for an animal. She also pointed out giving an animal as a surprise could result in neglect.

"The person could have allergies or other medical conditions. Then the animal has to be taken back and being bounced back and forth isn't good for them."

Parker suggested if you really want to give an animal for a gift, give a gift certificate instead. That will allow the person or family to go to the shelter of their choice and choose the right animal for them.
