    I have one, but am hoping for another. Two would be the most I would have at one time. ( depending on what sort of buisness I get into )

    I could handle up to 4 dogs. I'd like a big dog when I move out, and maybe two elderly rescues. Definately not 4 young dogs. It just gets ridiculous after that with food, toys, grooming, vet bills, one on one attention, training.

    I grew up on a farm with lots of farm cats. But inside, maybe 2, and older cats, no more kittens.

    I fit as many fish as I have tank room, and I'm always on the lookout for a cheap used tank. I want to breed fish.

    Small mammals don't have a limit yet.

    It really depends on the room and time I have and the money. I love pets that take a lot of care.

    IDEAL number would be 4 when it comes to dogs, and i personally will never have more than 2 cats.

    I think the amount of animals that one has depends on how much time the can put out to tend to them properly..I have 3 cats, 1 dog, 1 parrot, 1 salt tank, 1 pond with fish and 2 kids...I am at my limit..Anymore, and I think the attention level would drop.
    I wish others would think the same way..

    I voted 4-8 because that's how many I have now, but I'm really not sure. I could see myself in the future with 6-8 dogs (probably with 2 or 3 of them being fosters), 2 or 3 cats, some cows and also some chickens. I could handle more than that, but I'm not sure if I'd want to.

    I voted 4-8...and I have 11 pets now (5 dogs, 3 cats, 2 guinea pigs and a gecko).

    I could see myself in the future owning 4 dogs (all spaced apart, unlike my current situation) and maybe a couple fosters. I don't think I'll ever get anymore rodents, and definitely no more geckos.

    I voted 1-4. I have 4 pets now, 3 dogs and 1 cat. In the future I might see getting another cat (or if my dreams ever came true a horse or two ) but I think 3 dogs is my limit. I like small animals, but I don't like taking care of pets in cages and also Adele would go crazy so owning them is not really an option.

    I voted 4-8. I will most likely have two dogs or three. No more then three at a time. Maybe 1 cat. No more then 1 cat though. I would also like to get a rabbit and a 2 fish. So that's a total of 7 pets. That's to little in my book, but that is probably all I would be able to afford.

    weeeell...........considering ALL pets I´d be around 12.........

    2 birds, but I want to get a companion to each one I have now
    7 fish, I think I´m fine with those but who know what happens at betta shops
    3 dogs, I would love to have 4 but three will do for now (If I could I would have 100´s, but they are a handful, once I had 13 , great work Tamara!!)
