Animal shelter operators in Wisconsin are advising you to make sure if you are giving a pet as a gift that the recipient wants the responsibility.
Shelter officials say that’s the top consideration anytime you think of giving a pet to someone. They say owning a pet requires time and resource commitment that many people don’t have.
Officials say it’s also important to get a pet that’s a good match for the owner as dozens of animals are returned to shelters and pet stores after the holidays each year.
