I adopted two cats from the Calgary Humane Society and one dog from the Cochrane Humane Society.

Why don't you want to adopt from the Calgary Humane Society?

You should choose an animal that fits your lifestyle, and be prepared to work hard to train and exercise it. For instance, many dogs are at the shelter because they are very high energy and haven't had boundaries put on them before - by a person that is able to be in charge. Dogs are a lot of work, but it is well worth it.

A cat is pretty easy, you just have to buy the equipment, keep it fed, watered, groomed, and play with it every so often.

A rabbit I can't speak to.

Also I have found that in the long run, once you get one of ANY type of animal, and you settle in with it, it is much easier to get a second of the same type.
