A Message from Our Founder
Thank you for taking the time to explore The Furry Critter Network. We hope you have found the site to be both educational and engaging. Our purpose is to educate both young and old about the types and behavioral characteristics of the pets that you may potentially invite into your family.
I personally have been involved in rescuing horses and dogs for a long time and grew to realize that most pets in shelters or rescue situations are there for several common reasons:
Common Reasons Pets End Up in Shelters
- Wrong expectations about the breed from the owners involved
- Inadequate housing or environment for the animal's needs
- Inadequate funds to properly support the animal
- Lack of proper respect for the animal involved
- Lack of understanding about relationships with animals in general
It is incumbent on everyone involved to understand all the intricacies when bringing an animal into your home. It should be a lifelong commitment—for the animal. While a pet is only part of your existence, it is the entire existence for that animal. Please keep that first in your priorities when choosing a pet.
While it is not my intent to sound harsh or judgmental, it's all about the animals who innocently enter into these situations and become victims of the people who are supposed to care for them the most. It is my intent to provide a space for you to do your research before you commit.
I look forward to hearing from you should the need arise in any area where I may be of assistance. Again, thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely,
Matt Bryant
