https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/critters-for-Christmas/m-p/137197#M57362 <P>I volunteer at my local animal shelter and would just like to spread the word not to give an animal as a present unless you are absolutely sure the person wants and can take care of it. If you are certain another idea is to just give a picture of it and then pick up the animal after the excitement of the holiday is over so it will be better for the pet to adjust. I see so many "surrenders" of pets because people do not do their homework. Thank you for listening.</P> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:50:30 GMT route 7 2011-12-09T21:50:30Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/critters-for-Christmas/m-p/137197#M57362 <P>I volunteer at my local animal shelter and would just like to spread the word not to give an animal as a present unless you are absolutely sure the person wants and can take care of it.
