Adopting a dog or cat with special needs is a personal choice. Consider if you have the time, room, and patience to care for a special needs animal. You may have a lot of love to give, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have the space or resources to care for one of these pets. If you’ve never cared for a special needs animal before, we recommend fostering one to see what it’s like and if it’s the right fit for you. That said, special needs pets need just as much love as any animal. If you have the time and resources to provide for a special needs animal, they would be eternally grateful!
