Tier Adoption
adoptieren oder kaufen
Ein Tier aufnehmen hat immer mit langfristiger Verantwortung zu tun. Es ist wie eine Partnerschaft. Die Chemie muss stimmen. Daher solltest du dein zukünftiges Haustier immer erst kennenlernen und tief in dich gehen, bevor du es aufnimmst. Wenn du ein älteres Tier zu dir nimmst, denk dran es hatte ein Leben vor dir. Oftmals kein Gutes, es ist davon geprägt.
Wie du das passende Tier findest
Was du beachten solltest ist Rasse, Herkunftsland und Lebensart. Ein Jagdhund, der 1 oder 2 Jahre in Freiheit gelebt hat, ist kein Stadthund. Eine Katze, die von einer wilden Mutter aufgezogen wurde, sieht Menschen als Gefahr und braucht Monate bis sie sich für Menschen entscheidet und sie wird immer souveräner Freigänger bleiben wollen.
