kellydesiree+FollowWould you get your teen a dog before college?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.
