You get a proportion of the doggy benefits and they’re always happy to see you!

But you don’t have to deal with any of the doggy responsibilities such as taking them for walkies in the rain, or picking up their poops.

    I had to say goodbye much too early to the pets I’ve tried to have and I couldn’t deal with it anymore. I love animals though, so now I volunteer at a wildlife rescue, so I get seemingly infinite animals. I get more chores than love, and ironically I say goodbye to more of them than I ever would pets, but they’re my patients now, not my best friends. But I get to enjoy a ton of animals, some that I never even knew existed, and I still get to feel I did good by them like I did with my rescue pups and kitties. We treated over 4200 animals last year! Overall, it’s a pretty small commitment for all the neat things I get to be a part of.
