"Pet Adoption" Goalplan Description:
 A pet is a companion who provides love, fun, and comfort. Choosing the right pet requires research and thought. This Goalplan will help you decide what you want in a pet, and what you'll need to do to find, adopt, and care for the right companion. Although it can be tempting to take home the first animal you see, take your time and be choosy. When you meet the perfect companion, you'll know! This Goalplan contains tips from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and various pet associations. This Pet Adoption Goalplan typically takes about two months to complete.
