All pets are welcome, ones with fur, scales, and feathers; warm blooded or cold blooded: two feet, four feet and even zero feet! Pets can be any living creature that lives in or near your home and depends on you for care and feeding. It can be a playful dog, a furry cat, or a bouncy frog. It can even be a turtle, lizard, snake or bird or pocket pet - a rat, mouse, a hamster or gerbil or guinea pig.
