Answer 5 quick questions to see if this pet is your perfect match
A pet's size impacts everything from food expenses to veterinary costs and living space needs. Small pets (under 25 lbs) typically eat less and are easier to transport, but may be more fragile around young children. Large pets are wonderful companions for active families but require more space, stronger leashes, and larger crates.
Keep in mind that puppies and kittens grow! A small puppy from a large breed can grow to 70–100+ pounds within a year. Shelter staff can help estimate an adult pet's full-grown size based on breed, paw size, and current weight. Planning for your pet's adult size ensures your home and budget are prepared for the long term.
