Adopting a dog is a big decision, though the benefits are huge. Find out what issues you should consider, and why the nominal fee humane societies and dog shelters charge is priceless.

Americans and their loved pets move on average every seven years. If you have a pet or pets, remember that they also experience stress, particularly from moving. In many cases, moving can be even more stressful on pets, as the home is their habitat. Pets can also become very frightened when faced with unfamiliar situations.
