Hi, and thanks for checking out my Q
I am a really big-hearted person – I can’t stand the thought of shelter pups being put down! So when I hear a dog’s being put down (which is rare in our shelter, because they all go so FAST!) I beat it out there and adopt him/her. I usually only hear 1 out of 3 that are being put-down, because word like that doesn’t travel much around our town – but anyways, when I do adopt them I find then homes. Most of the pet’s get along w/ my two ferrets, but sometime’s I ain’t that luckee! When a dog doesn’t get along w/ my pets, I haffta keep th’ ferrets in my other area of that house, the one w/ a door keeping them in that side of the house... w/ my fish tank LOL
ANYWAY, when a dog isn’t able 2 be adopted, if s/he fits well w/ my pet family, I let him/her stay. I have two dogs that didn’t find homes, Nemo who’s a sheepdog mix.. And Dino who’s a st bernard and great dane mix... I also have a designer dog (stupid buy choice) who’s a pomeranian. I heard they were soooo cool that I got one - that’s when I decided to go shelter pups most of the time. The pom (Jesse) is cu-ute though! BUT he costed a lot more and his operation (he had problms w/ his hips) was like 1,000!!!! they’re all really loveable dogs tho, and get along GR8 w/ my ferrets but I’m considering getting a cat now. Normally I don’t adopt cat’s, just dogs – but now there’s like one cat who’s gonna be put down! I feel so bad, I wonder if my dogs would get along w/ a cat?? Well, a kitten (8 months)
The dogs are all over 1 yr. I have a HUGE house, there’s four floors - basement, downstairs, middle floor and upstairs! I don’t have a attic. But there’s doors closing all those levels off, so if one of my pets gets ruff w/ the other, I can separate them. And w/ all that space I only have 3 dogs and 2 ferrets —I do have a 30 gal. fish tank w/ a variation of tetras, sharks ‘n goldfish – but I don’t think they will mind the cat b/c their room door will be shut all the time.
MY QUESTION IS:
Will my current animals (two long-haired ferrets, a st bernard & great dane mix, a pom & a sheepdog mix) mind being housed with another catt??? I love catz but never thought my dogs would get along with one – or my ferrets. All my animals have run of the house (except my room and my fish’ room) ‘n the cat would b able to go w/ever he wanted.. Would this be a problem?
