TLDR: I would like some honest advice and assessment of my fitness of dog ownership
I have recently been very interested in getting a pet. I absolutely love dogs and have had them my whole life, but as an adult on my own I want to know if I’m a well suited owner for one. Here’s some info about myself:
About me: -21 F living alone in an apartment -Would not get pet until the new year (early 2026 at the soonest) -Don’t really have guest too often -No other current pets -Last year college student -During the semester, I’m not home for about 10-14 hours ~4 days per week -Not planning on moving soon -A couple brief trips planned for next year -I had chihuahuas my whole life but I’ve routinely cared for dogs of all sizes/breeds -I live in a very hot part of the US -Not looking for particular breed just depends on who’s available at the shelters around me -Plenty of space for dog up to like 20 lb (~9 kg) -Unlikely to get a puppy would probably go for adult/senior
All input/advice is appreciated! Thanks!
