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!
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.
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.
i loved how it slowed me down before making big decisions.
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. 🏃♀️🐕
The cost breakdowns are super helpful. Made me realize that owning a pet is not just about the initial costs but also recurring expenses.
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.
