If anything happened to your pet, would you think about getting another one to replace it?

Yes. I have done this after grieving. Each pet brings something new and interesting into my life, I likely will keep dogs in my life until I can't care for them anymore...may go with a smaller dog next time, I am getting a little old to handle Rottweilers, they are strong and stubborn dogs...

My last pet was adorable but suffered health problems and sadly died. I do irregular shift work so feel it's unfair to get another pet right now. I miss having a pet but have made do with the garden robins.

Having buried several 4 legged friends over the years, the answer is a resounding yes... But i never go looking... They seem to find me instead

When my Dale passed I didn't have another dog or pet for 4-5 years. I missed him so much. And I worked a lot and wouldn't of been there for a new doggie. I adopted my doggie Alien a few years ago now and he's become my best friend. I wish they lived longer.

I didn't think of it as replacing her. But, I missed having a dog. I adopted a shelter dog about six months after my dog died.

When my sweet Oreo cat died at the age of 17 I got a y year old cat. Not elderly but she was a rescue cat

I've always adopted from the pound. "Just give which ever mutts been here the longest."

Not to replace it per se but I would definitely consider getting another one.

No I would not adopt as most of the dogs were abused, sick or not worth a shit. I would buy one from a reputable breeder as I have all my past pets. ASPCA is a shit show spending donations on dogs and cats that should be immediately be put down and them money spent on people that need food and places to live.

I had to put my dog down almost two years ago. Broke everyone’s heart. He was so loved and really was the heart of the family.

One day when I feel the time is right I will get an older dog or cat or maybe both but I’m not ready yet though.

After my last cat died, (whom I rescued from his elderly demented owner), I adopted an older cat, age 6 at the time, from a vet in western Massachusetts. The vet was having an adoption event after rescuing a LOT of cats and kittens from a kill shelter in New York.

My pets are gone now. I would love the company of another, but I feel it would be unkind that I would leave so much earlier than they. So, I don't get one.

Yes after a period of mourning.

We just got a new kitten last month about a year and a half after we had to say goodbye to our elder cat.

I would never replace pets that have passed
I would rescue another one or two
I've already rescued older

@Jemimapuddleduck you can see the cat in my avatar well that is jess my cat and when that faithful day comes i will be too heartbroken as she is my world.far as replace that would be impossible as we got jess when dad passed in 2014 when i was struggling too cope and when jess came it made all the difference she has a special place in my heart

I am on my fifth dog.....

Yes I would

Did think about getting another cat . After my last cat passed on. But decided against it. To much stress etc

I just realized it’s been over ten years since I lost my cat. I kept saying I would adopt another one eventually, but I just haven’t. 🙁

Honestly, no. It's too hard. My pet's last months were brutal. I had to just not think about getting another pet for a long time.
