A lot of parents can relate to this: a mom recently decided not to get her 15-year-old daughter a new dog, worried she’d be left with all the responsibility once her daughter heads off to college. The family’s last rescue dog just passed away, and while they still have one older pup, the teen was hoping for another furry friend. Most people agreed with the mom—adopting a dog is a big, long-term commitment, and it’s usually the adults who end up caring for pets. Some suggested fostering or volunteering at a shelter as a great alternative. What would you do in this situation? #Pets #Parenting #FamilyDecisions
