A '''pet''' is a [[domestication|domesticated]] [[animal]] that lives with people, but is not forced to [[Labour (economics)|work]] and is not [[eat]]en, in most instances. In most cases, a pet is kept to entertain people or for companionship. Some pets such as dogs and cats are placed in an animal shelter if there is no one willing to take care of them. If no one adopts it or the pet is too old/sick, the pet may be euthanized. | A '''[https://petsfim.com/ pet]''' is a [[domestication|domesticated]] [[animal]] that lives with people, but is not forced to [[Labour (economics)|work]] and is not [[eat]]en, in most instances.

[[Dog]]s, [[cat]]s, [[fish]], [[rodent]]s, [[Lagomorpha|lagomorphs]], [[ferret]]s, [[bird]]s, certain [[Reptile|reptiles]] and [[Amphibian|amphibians]], and a wide variety of [[Arthropod|arthropods]] such as [[Tarantula|tarantulas]] and [[Hermit crab|hermit crabs]] are the most common pets in [[North America]]. [[Horse]]s, [[elephant]]s, [[ox]]en, and [[donkey]]s are usually made to work, so they are not usually called pets. Some dogs also do work for people, and it was once common for some birds (like [[falcon]]s and carrier [[pigeon]]s) to work for [[human]]s. | [[Dog]]s, [[cat]]s, [[fish]], [[rodent]]s, [[Lagomorpha|lagomorphs]], [[ferret]]s, [[bird]]s, certain [[Reptile|reptiles]] and [[Amphibian|amphibians]], and a wide variety of [[Arthropod|arthropods]] such as [[Tarantula|tarantulas]] and [[Hermit crab|hermit crabs]] are the most common pets in [[North America]].
