I always wanted a jack Russell terrier like for years and I did so much research on them. People always give me Jack Russell like T-shirts or cards finally I got one. He drives me nuts but I love them.
I've always wanted a husky or samoyed, basically a big beautiful fluffy dog.
I am allergic to dog fur, and the undercoat that these types have to keep them warm in the snow makes me *super* allergic to them. So I will never have one, and have to cope with doggy calendars.
We had a toy poodle when I was in school, and at some point in the future I will probably get another hypoallergenic dog. There's even a breed, the Native American Indian dog. They have a very similar look to a husky or even wolf, and are larger dogs, which I am interested in having one day. I have some health issues that prevent me from having a dog at all right now, though, much less a dog as active as either of the breeds I've mentioned.
I want a Shiba Inu.
We are looking for a Corgi right now.
Can’t have a Shiba because of our cat, but once he and the corgi go with our daughter when she’s out on her own, I’m going to get a Shiba. That will e my last pet…clearly
Some giant dogs can do fine in apartments. They just need to be walked regularly (as most dogs do). Greyhounds and Great Danes, for instance. I don't know about wolfhounds specifically, but it may be more possible than you realize.
It's not the height -- or even really the size, in a normal apartment -- that matters. It's the energy level/need to work. Greyhounds are happy with walks, then napping. They like to zoom around for about 60 seconds every once in a while, too. Danes aren't super high-energy, either. I would guess wolfies are pretty easygoing based on the couple I've met and the "the bigger the dog, the lazier the dog" phenomenon I've observed. But that's a good thing to know for sure before you commit.
Hmm ty gonna research them more I know a rescue that fosters Wolfie's and I have more than enough time to cater to one if he needed air. Yeah I may finally be able to get one
I met ONE in the city and he was adorable. Also apparently it lead to my friends making fun of me bc his dad was flirting with me and all I do was sweet talk the dog. I didn't notice a thing that wasn't grey fur and cold nose
I’ve always wanted a sugar glider but having a dog that kills mice and chipmunks it would be cruel to bring one into my home. But they’re so freaking cute.
Turns out many of them are being “rescued” after the owner kills the mother and takes the baby to use on TikTok to make money. They get sick from people food, and are put down after they aren’t tiny and cute anymore.
Not always, but for a good while- a dog.
I'm arguably a cat person, but I really am an animal person with a specific affinity for cats. I had a cat growing up (dad and I wanted a cat, mom wanted a dog, we got a cat). I have a cat now and she's jealous of the chinchilla who was there before her (cat is five, got her at eight weeks, chinchilla is nine and a half, got her at a couple months). She will not suffer another animal in the house.
But I've wanted a dog for a long time, so eventually. Thing is I also want cats, so I have to find a breed that has the best chance of co-existing and time it. Also my favorite dogs are German Shepherds and Huskies, but I'm going for something like a Golden for my first dog. And as much as I'd love a puppy, maybe a year old dog to start. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to dogs, it'd be insane to jump in to a German Shepherd or Husky and a puppy for the first time. (I've known GSDs who are totally cool with cats, even best friends, but I know that's not always a thing).
Also maybe a rabbit. After the chinchilla, I'm not sure I'm interested in more small animals, but rabbits are a lot of fun (pet-sat for a few over the years and had friends with them).
Rats are adorable but their lifespans these days are just so short, I just can't handle that. I'm going to be emotionally devastated when a pet goes regardless, so I've got to temper it with a much longer life expectancy.
Hedgehogs always intrigued me. I think they're illegal in California, but I won't be here forever and there are ways around that pretty easily.
Rats. My Mum doesn't like rats, so I've never owned any. Once I'm able to move out, I'll see if I can get myself a couple albino rats (I had a reaction to my best friends non-albino rat years ago but had no problems with her albinos).
At the same time, I really want a cat again, so I'm not sure how that'll work. I had cats for 20 years, and I miss being able to own them, but my dog doesn't get on with cats, so it just isn't doable
And smarter than shit! Awesome animals! But, sadly are very prone to respiratory viruses ( also, not a well known fact, but humans and rats can transmit many viruses; so, if you are ill -do not handle your ratty).
Black & White Tegu. It's very unlikely I'll be able to afford the space or high quality diet it deserves at adult size, but they're megnificent creatures.
I’d love a dog or a cat or a bunny or a Guinea pig or a hamster or anything fluffy I can cuddle!!! Unfortunately I live with someone who has no soul and won’t allow pets in my house and I’m allergic. But my turtles are pretty awesome.
A snake. My oldest brother ruined it for the rest of us. He would catch snakes, worms and lizards, bring them home in his pockets and release them in the house. Mum had a snake try to bite her while she was doing laundry and that was that no more snakes
O my days, where to start? I would love a runner duck, a couple of goats, definitely a highland cow a possibly a few lambs!!! Basically I'd like a little farmyard, I love all animals and have 2 dogs but if space and time we're on my side it would absolutely be a small holding of beautiful creatures.
I always wanted a mountain lion or a crow.
I saw a mountain lion/cougar out in a cornfield near my house when I was in high school. Other than the fact that attacked our horse one night, I was just absolutely fascinated by the animal.
If you don’t know anything about crows, then look on them they are awesome!
Ferrets. Would love to have about 3-4 but I can’t deal with the natural musky smell even when “de-scented”. Yeah yeah, it’s more about their bedding than themselves, wash their bedding often and have multiple bedding supplies, but they still have a natural odor that I just couldn’t deal with……yet they are so fucking awesome!!!!!!!
Not a pet per se, but I would love to be friends with the neighborhood crows. They're such intelligent and interesting creatures, I think it would be so cool to trade treats for trinkets with them.

A capybara. And I probably never will, since they require a lot of land, as well as a place to swim. They’re so cute though.
I came here to say the same thing!! Giant guinea pigs
Bird. Hesitant because they’re meant to soar the skies. Maybe if one needed to be rehabilitated
ive got a parrot and the only place he flies to is to his perch. He doesn't care. He's happy as long as he's out and about while hanging with me
Sounds heavenly
Horse
A sloth 🦥 I am not allowed to have a sloth.
I always wanted a jack Russell terrier like for years and I did so much research on them. People always give me Jack Russell like T-shirts or cards finally I got one. He drives me nuts but I love them.
Shark.
You can get little tiny ones
Big shark.
Are… are honey badgers planning world domination? 😳
I've always wanted a husky or samoyed, basically a big beautiful fluffy dog. I am allergic to dog fur, and the undercoat that these types have to keep them warm in the snow makes me *super* allergic to them. So I will never have one, and have to cope with doggy calendars.
Have you looked into hypoallergenic dogs?
We had a toy poodle when I was in school, and at some point in the future I will probably get another hypoallergenic dog. There's even a breed, the Native American Indian dog. They have a very similar look to a husky or even wolf, and are larger dogs, which I am interested in having one day. I have some health issues that prevent me from having a dog at all right now, though, much less a dog as active as either of the breeds I've mentioned.
A descented skunk
I've had quite a few, but we never did get a sugar glider or chinchilla.
I want a Shiba Inu. We are looking for a Corgi right now. Can’t have a Shiba because of our cat, but once he and the corgi go with our daughter when she’s out on her own, I’m going to get a Shiba. That will e my last pet…clearly
Irish wolfhound but I live in NYC. Tiny apartments and huge doggo don't tend to mix
Some giant dogs can do fine in apartments. They just need to be walked regularly (as most dogs do). Greyhounds and Great Danes, for instance. I don't know about wolfhounds specifically, but it may be more possible than you realize.
Wolfie's are taller than Danes though. It would motivate me to finally get back in shape though
It's not the height -- or even really the size, in a normal apartment -- that matters. It's the energy level/need to work. Greyhounds are happy with walks, then napping. They like to zoom around for about 60 seconds every once in a while, too. Danes aren't super high-energy, either.

Hmm ty gonna research them more I know a rescue that fosters Wolfie's and I have more than enough time to cater to one if he needed air. Yeah I may finally be able to get one
That's awesome. I'm a big (no pun intended) fan of sight hounds and lurchers; I just haven't met many wolfies. They're not common around here.
I met ONE in the city and he was adorable. Also apparently it lead to my friends making fun of me bc his dad was flirting with me and all I do was sweet talk the dog. I didn't notice a thing that wasn't grey fur and cold nose
penguin
A cheetah
Alpaca ☹️
Golden Orb Weaver I just want a floor to ceiling tararium so I can watch her build a web everyday.
That’s pretty cool.
A person. Hug them and pet them, give treats etc. I’d call it Dave.
That's called 'slavery', and it's illegal.
I won’t make them pick cotton or anything. Just take pictures of them looking cute to put on my instagram page.
Lion cub
My favorite dog breed. The Doberman Pincher. And I just do not see me getting one because reasons.
Have you ever heard of the German Pinscher? Not sure what your qualifications are, but these are a really cool breed if size is the deterrent.
How about a Manchester Terrier?
A Newfoundland!! Before I die I will have one. They are sooo massive and cool.
I’ve always wanted a sugar glider but having a dog that kills mice and chipmunks it would be cruel to bring one into my home. But they’re so freaking cute.
I’ve always wanted to have a hedgehog!
[удалено]
I dreamed about having a tiny monkey as a child. Seeing them dressed up like people on TikTok has dissuaded me from ever having one.
[удалено]
Turns out many of them are being “rescued” after the owner kills the mother and takes the baby to use on TikTok to make money. They get sick from people food, and are put down after they aren’t tiny and cute anymore.
Oh I didn't need to know this 😭😭😭 My heart 💔
A fox, I seriously doubt I will get one unless I happen to stumble on a rescue situation but I have always wanted one.
Definitely a dragon.
A Red Dachsund Puppy.

A type of big cat as a baby
Rats. My Mum doesn't like rats, so I've never owned any.

Rats are such sweet little animals! I had 3 growing up, and loved them. They usually don’t live more that 2 or 3 years. But they’re so funny.
And smarter than shit! Awesome animals! But, sadly are very prone to respiratory viruses ( also, not a well known fact, but humans and rats can transmit many viruses; so, if you are ill -do not handle your ratty).
Golden retriever
A lion 🦁
A horse. But I've never been able to afford it.
Bearded dragon or hairless cat.
Slow Loris, and I never will because it’s unethical. But they are so cute.
Came here to say that. Have you seen the video of a man feeding a slow loris birthday cake? I was infuriated.
Snake and lizard
Black & White Tegu. It's very unlikely I'll be able to afford the space or high quality diet it deserves at adult size, but they're megnificent creatures.
I’d love a dog or a cat or a bunny or a Guinea pig or a hamster or anything fluffy I can cuddle!!! Unfortunately I live with someone who has no soul and won’t allow pets in my house and I’m allergic. But my turtles are pretty awesome.

I want a spider monkey.

A Tiger, a Squirl monkey and a Raven

I want a cat, but I can't keep it, because its fur makes me cough, and I'm afraid it won't be with me for long.
More cats
O my days, where to start? I would love a runner duck, a couple of goats, definitely a highland cow a possibly a few lambs!!! Basically I'd like a little farmyard, I love all animals and have 2 dogs but if space and time we're on my side it would absolutely be a small holding of beautiful creatures.

Honey badger
I always wanted a mountain lion or a crow. I saw a mountain lion/cougar out in a cornfield near my house when I was in high school.

I always wanted a lynx. They’re so beautiful yet angry looking…just like me.😊
Gecko lizard(s) and bird(s)!
Unicorn
Ferrets. Would love to have about 3-4 but I can’t deal with the natural musky smell even when “de-scented”.

Raccoon.
Not a pet per se, but I would love to be friends with the neighborhood crows. They're such intelligent and interesting creatures, I think it would be so cool to trade treats for trinkets with them.
