This workbook is amazing! It provides honest insights that are so important to consider before making the commitment to adopt. I wish I had this when I first adopted.
Used this guide before adopting and it was such a help! The lifestyle fit quiz really helped me understand what kind of pet would best suit my routine. 🐕🦺
Clear, simple, and full of questions I hadn’t considered before.
i bought this on a whim, but i’m so glad i did. i’ve been thinking about adopting for years, but i always second guessed myself. the exercises inside helped me look at my daily life honestly. do i have the time, the energy, the money? now i know where i stand. i finally feel at peace with the decision.
Downloaded this for my family as we're considering getting our first pet. The customizable worksheets have been great in helping us all get on the same page 👨👩👧👦
The fillable budget worksheet was a godsend for financial planning, no more guesswork or surprises post-adoption.
I love how this workbook doesn't sugarcoat things - it gives you real talk on common myths about adoption which I found very enlightening!
Making the decision to adopt is one of the most important choices I’ve faced, and this workbook gave me the clarity I needed. It wasn’t just about checklists; it was about reflection. The questions were crafted in a way that made me dig deeper into what I wanted and what I could handle. The section about long-term planning stood out to me the most. I’d always thought about the first few months, but never about the next ten or fifteen years. How would a pet fit into my future goals, my finances, my living situation? These weren’t easy questions, but they were necessary. At the same time, the workbook reminded me of the joys of adoption. It balanced realism with encouragement, which is exactly what I needed. Instead of feeling scared, I felt inspired to take the next step with awareness. I closed the last page feeling lighter, clearer, and more sure of myself.
The cost breakdowns are super helpful. Made me realize that owning a pet is not just about the initial costs but also recurring expenses.
Just finished my workbook and wow, it's been an eye-opener! The lifestyle fit quiz really helped me understand what type of pet would suit my routine best. 🏃♀️🐕
i loved how it slowed me down before making big decisions.
i can’t even explain how much this workbook helped me. i’ve wanted to adopt for years, but i always went back and forth. some days i felt excited, other days i worried i wasn’t ready. this guide didn’t give me a yes or no, but it gave me the space to figure it out for myself. the questions about my lifestyle really hit me hard—like how much time i spend away from home, what my budget actually looks like, and how i handle stress. i had to be honest, and that honesty made me realize i was closer to ready than i thought. the best part is it didn’t kill the joy of adoption—it made me even more excited because now i feel prepared. i have a clearer picture of what to expect, and i know where i might struggle too. instead of avoiding those thoughts, i can plan ahead. i also shared some of the exercises with a friend who’s been thinking about adopting too, and we ended up having the deepest conversation about it. we both left feeling calmer, less anxious, and more focused. honestly, i wish i had this months ago. if you’re stuck in that place of excitement mixed with doubt, this will be such a gift.
The clarity this gave me is hard to describe. I walked into it feeling nervous and unsure, but as I answered the questions and filled out the sections, I felt my confidence growing. It’s not about giving you the “right” choice, it’s about helping you find your choice. That distinction made me trust the process and myself more.
Just downloaded this workbook and I'm so impressed! The lifestyle fit quiz was eye-opening. It's helping me understand what type of pet would be best for my daily routine. Can't wait to continue with the rest!
Trustworthy
Thoughtful guidance helped me truly reflect before bringing home pets.
This guide is amazing, it really makes you think before making a decision. Love how it breaks down the costs involved in owning a pet - no surprises later on.
Motivating
I’ve been thinking about bringing a pet into my life for a while now, but one thing that kept holding me back was the budgeting aspect. I wasn’t exactly sure how to plan for all the costs involved, and to be honest, financial planning isn’t my strongest area. That’s where this guide came in—and I’ve found it incredibly useful. What I appreciated right away is that it doesn’t just throw out vague estimates or general advice. Instead, it breaks everything down in a clear and structured way, distinguishing between one-time expenses—like adoption fees and initial supplies—and the ongoing monthly or annual costs, such as food, grooming, and vet visits. That level of detail helped me see the bigger picture and avoid underestimating the real cost of pet ownership. Another thing that stood out is how the guide accounts for different lifestyle situations. It acknowledges that not everyone’s circumstances are the same, and it reflects that in its examples and scenarios. Whether you work from home, travel frequently, or live in a small apartment, the guide helps you think through how those factors might influence your pet-related spending. One of the most helpful features for me personally was the set of fillable budget worksheets included in the guide. Even though I’m not great with numbers, I found them straightforward to use. They allowed me to plug in my own figures and adjust as needed, which made the whole budgeting process feel less intimidating and more tailored to my specific situation. Before using this guide, I felt pretty uncertain about whether I could realistically afford a pet. It was like trying to navigate without a map. But after going through it, I feel much more confident in my ability to plan ahead and make a decision that’s both responsible and sustainable. All in all, if you’re thinking about adopting a pet and aren’t sure how to get a handle on the financial side of things, I’d definitely recommend checking out this guide. It doesn’t promise easy answers, but it does give you the tools and information to make an informed decision—without the guesswork
I didn’t expect something so simple to make such an impact, but this workbook truly helped me pause and think carefully. The questions were gentle yet honest, reminding me of both joys and responsibilities. It gave me the confidence that when I adopted, I’d be ready in my heart and in daily life.
