Yaker, exactly. My wife works runs an animal hospital, she is an LVT and CVPM liscensed thru the state of Va, all of our pets are rescues. We lost our two dogs last year and it still hurts today. They were brother and sister and had seizure issues. We had no idea the kind of time, effort and money it would take to keep them regulated and seizure free. Not once did I think to abandon them or put them down. Health issues are a part of pet parenting.
No pet is 100% free of health issues. This needs to be taken into consideration as well when getting a pet. Like Hanover said, it's a big commitment to owning a dog, if you don't have the time or energy to give, this might not be the time to get a dog. Think long and hard about your decision. Don't be that person that makes the wrong choice.
