In a world full of creatures great and small,
There are some that we invite into our homes and call
Our pets, our friends, our family,
And we want them to be healthy and happy.

When looking for a furry friend to bring home,
There are many options to consider before you roam.
Some come from breeders, purebred and grand,
While others come from shelters, in need of a helping hand.

A breeder can help you find a pet with traits you desire,
But there are so many shelter pets waiting to inspire.
A veterinarian can keep your pet feeling fine,
With checkups and treatments to keep them in their prime.

And if you need advice on how to train or play,
A counselor can help you along the way.
A pet can fit in with your lifestyle too,
Whether you love to run or enjoy a good view.

So whether you choose purebred or shelter,
Just remember to care for them with love and shelter.
They'll bring you joy and happiness,
And you'll give them a life that's priceless.
