One semi-dealbreaker in a relationship with me is that i’m not a pet person. I’m afraid of animals, always have been and always will be. I do like them and i had to live with some as a kid and pretty much never came out my room 😂 I prefer to date someone with no pets but if i date someone with a pet, it has to be one that lives outdoors or in a guest house... otherwise, we’ll just move on and find someone who agrees with how we live our lives 🤷♀️ #FeelFreeToList#PetLovers

I dont hate animals. Just afraid of em All. But i prefer dogs if i had to choose. I just refuse to live indoors with a pet again. Long stressful childhood at times dealing with that. I took in a stray but fed it from a distance and took off running whenever it came near 😂 i’d talk to it through the window as my little sis played with it outside. I also never left my room when we had 3 other dogs living inside 🤷♀️
Interesting question. Growing up our pets were always outdoors (unless the weather was really bad or it was the fourth of July.). They seemed to get along alright. But that did leave them more vulnerable to ticks. These days I kind of lean toward being open to letting the pets live inside. But I realize that does affect the cleanliness of your house, so it's a trade-off.
When I was 6 years old I didn't see the dog behind me and stepped on its tail 😂😂 it was bitten on my leg. I had taken 15 injections around my stomach one for a day. It's a Nightmare experience 😭😭
I think dogs don't like me.. they shout at me wherever I see them. I don't know why... I feel like someday I'm gonna be killed by a dog which looks like the one in hound of baskervilles 😂
I'm glad that at least 1 dog did like me in my life. It's my uncle's pet. Once I fed his pet when it was hungry. On next day I left the uncles house and started walking to the nearby bus station which is about 2 miles. It's walked along with me till the bus station and left the station the moment I got into the bus. It has accompanied me till the station just bc I fed her on the other day. I felt emotional really. Pets show lots of love. That's the only pet I loved very much but it was died 2 months ago. Sad...
OMG yes i been in that situation! I fed a stray and it kept coming back so we took him in and named her DJ. Yet i never went near him and only talked to him through the window 😂
Why do people equate not being an animal person to being an animal hater? That shit is so annoying. I don't hate animals. I have a legit fear of dogs. But I don't hate them. I'd love to have an aquarium full of beautiful fish tho.
I watched a video of dogs reuniting with their owners who were soldiers and legit cried the whole time. Dog lovers are just over the top at times and it's annoying.

Miss KittyMiss AnaI have two cats who will live the rest of their lives in my home. Their life expectancy living inside is approximately 15 years. Their life expectancy living outside is approximately 2 years. I know that they are not human but they are my little girls!

I have two cats that are mostly indoor, but like to play in my backyard (supervised, of course!)
I can relate to a sort of fear of some animals. I used to absolutely love dogs and own them, but pretty much out of nowhere became a bit timid around them after my last dog passed away. I think it's because I've had unknown dogs lunge at me (including at my face), jump on and me and claw me to the point it broke skin, etc. I don't mind well mannered dogs, but get nervous when they run towards me, start trying to jump on me, or get too close to my face. I wish I was as comfortable around them as I used to be, but I'm kind of distant towards them when I come across them now.
Yeah, it sucks! The last time a dog jumped on me and clawed my bare legs in the middle of summer when I was wearing shorts, I was bleeding and it hurt a surprising amount.
When i was a baby , my Mom had me in a stroller we was walking in the Park , this Golden Retriever jumped on my stroller and to this day, i have flash backs , so i am with you a part of me likes animals but I'm scared , i also am Diabetic so if dogs , cats lick me or scratch me , i could get a infection cause Diabetics heal poorly. That's why i want lose 80 lbs cause i want get rid of Diabetes. My cousin , just got her Mom a Maltese and that puppy is always shitting and pissing in the kitchen but my Cousin doesn't want take her outside to potty train her and that is hell of life to live.
I have a rescue cat named Theo, we rescued him 10 years ago from a neighbors house that burned down, they were all killed. We asked other family members if we could take care of him until they claimed him, they told us we could keep him.
And so we did.
We also have a cat named Rocco however he is a stray cat, but this cat will sleep on our front entrance to the house, we have a blanket for him and food and water, especially since it’s winter, it gets cold here in the south too. He follows my father and I when we take our daily walks, I’ve never seen anything like it before, he will walk around with us about 3/4 a mile until he either hides and waits for us to come back or goes back home.
I've had pets (hamsters, turtle, rabbit, fish) and have a pet now, my dog Robbie. I love my dog oh so much, he stays indoors, especially since it's winter now. I'm a huge animal person and love dogs. A guy whom I'm dating that doesn't love dogs is a deal breaker for me.
I love animals and grew up around them, and well over 90% of my customers have pets, so I am around them all the time, and I am very good with them.
But I don't have any of my own by choice, because my lifestyle isn't really compatible with having a pet. My schedule is very inconsistent and I sometimes have to work away from home for a few days at a time with very little notice. So, this wouldn't be a major problem for me at all.
Not a pet person, and I always stay it clear from the beginning of a relationship, because nowadays most people want a pet.
In my case I'm not afraid, but dogs company make me feel some anxiety and stress, which I can handle when I'm at someone else's house, but I'd like to be able to feel comfortable and petless at home.
Hell yeah I want pets. The only reason why we don't have pets is cause my mom hates them. She says she has kids and those are ENOUGH.🌚💔
I want pets for when I start living alone. I have a slight preference for cats but I'd like any kind of animal really, as long as I can give them a good life. I'll treat them like they're my babies.
I really want pets, but my mom's scared of literally every other animal, with the only exception being fish. I could go for reptiles, dogs, birds, insects, etc. I like animals and they'd probably stay inside, unless they physically can't. My girlfriend has a Husky and I fucking love it. Lol
I want a Golden Retriever from a puppy but every time it's walked, I'd want to wipe or wet brush it after going outside. So, it can be clean again inside the house. Also, I've seen a lot of people don't pick their dog's fecal matter up. 😷 So, I would get my pet dog shoes or just get a house with a huge backyard so that my pet wouldn't have to deal with that nasty stuff on their paws.
We have Charley Farley, a B & W moggy. In my profile cover pic. He spends nights indoors, but during the day, he is in and out all the time. Bit of a logistical nightmare in a top floor flat. Luckily, other residents let him in and come up and ring our doorbell. Only seldom does he get stuck in the stairwell!
I have two dogs. One is German Shepherd and the other is a German Shepard/ Labrador mix. They’re my children. They stay outside and come in when it’s cold. Although they’re my kids , I don’t allow them in my room.
He was only a year old in the picture. German shepherds are big dogs but he’s not as big as he should be. Dogs age in 7 years. When he’s 3 he will be 21 in human years. Marley is 49 in human years. In the picture he was only 7 years old (in human years)
To put it simply, pets are like having a baby that never grows up. They are dependent on their owner for their entire life. You are restricted with a pet as to where you can bring them and as to how long they can be left alone... I love pets and have had many over the years... but I enjoy the freedom of not having one of my own...
I voted F... I once had a cat for 3 days. She climbed the curtains :o We found her a new home with an uncle of mine who lived in the middle of the fields. She started climbing trees there :D
I personally dont have any at the moment but do want a dog as soon as sorted... my house mate has a cat who can't make up her mind if she likes me or not lol
I have a dog named paris, she’s a Maltese and shih tzu (I can't spell lol) mixture! She’s adorable! But since she’s a dog, she of course goes out! She’s about 4 this year! :-)
I prefer no dogs because dogs are high maintenance and people are really, really attached to their dogs. It's like dating someone with a child. I don't mind cats. In fact, I like them.
Had two cats so far and they've both run away. Loved them so much. Can't go through that pain of lossing any pet again, so I don't think I'll even own a pet again. My cats loved outdoors. They used to come and wake me up like 4:30am.
No I had killed the only puppy I had. Due to all the pent up anger and closeted homosexuality it felt nice to hit him and feel powerful and dominant for once. It got so bad that he succumbed to his wounds.
I now know that I must stay away from anything precious and never own a firearm because I would use it without thinking
I don't have any pets. Only had a beta fish growing up and that's it. Most guys I've dated didn't have any pets. I'd want a cat eventually and prefer it to stay indoors.
Omg one of our former pets was trained not to use it in his cage so he poked his tail through the slit and pooped on the floor and i woke for school and slid in it. I was so disgusted 😂
Dogs are not a threat its a mental thing the only time a dog will be aggressive is if your in somebody elses yard and its not your house and a cat is harmless a scratch is just a scratch its not that bad
I can't imagine leaving my pets outdoors, my neighbor never let her dogs inside and they ended up dying. I was already against it but that made it must worse for me.
I currently have 3 family pets, and I’m still indecisive about owning my own pet in the future 🐶🐶🐱 Strangely, my first 2 dogs always stayed outdoors overnight, but every dog we’ve had since have always slept indoors 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks. My mom and sister thought it was weird to give her a human name but I liked it. If it was up to them they would have named her Princess or something. LOL.
I know u do. You told me you have em lol. I had 4 but not by choice. Well i did take in a stray but i never went near it 😂 i fed it from a distance and took off running haha
My first dog was t by choice. In fact I refused it, I took on the role as its owner when she was still a pup that could fit in my hand because my sister is completely irresponsible. Eventually she started following me to my room, and chose me as its owner. Everyone who met and got to know this dog always said our personality were very similar. Agressive, protective, but very loving if she ever came around to you. She passed 2018 though
Im just too jumpy for animals. Theyre unpredictable. But yea we had to give DJ and Diamond away because we could no longer afford them. Nigel went crazy and he had to go. Blue died from a heatstroke
Lol sorry incomplete thought there someone interrupted me. Long story short my brother passed on his dog to my mom, she wasn't caring for her, history repeated itself, they got 3 more dogs and still treat them like not as living creatures that need attention and care but in my opinion as objects just to say that they have. The last 3 I refuse to care for them, I dont think they get showers and 100% sure they aren't fed daily unless I remind someone to feed them. They refuse to give these dogs away which I dont understand. Unfortunately I'm willing to let their neglect and nature take its role and maybe their deaths will be enough to have them learn that they are not suitable to own dogs. Maybe j may change my mind and just give them away if it goes too far but we'll see
