It's not that I don't want to, I just want to find out where else I can adopt. The Humane Society is likely where I will end up going.
I am looking for a pet for companionship, and I don't mind to train it and take it for walks and to the park etc... but at the same time, members of my house are not home from about 9-5ish every day except weekends. Is this too long of a time for a dog to be left at home alone? I likely won't have a problem establishing rules for an adopted dog, but you never know.
As for a cat, I know they will be fine on their own, but I also know they are typically less affectionate, but I am not sure it matters if too too much.
As for the rabbits- I am not sold on rabbits (no offense Ken). I just think that I want to go "mainstream" for my first pet.
