Justin Bieber and his Disney-actress-turned-pop-star girlfriend may not be ready for human children, but they’re ready for the pet variety.   The couple recently adopted a puppy from D’Arcy’s Animal Rescue Centre in Winnipeg, Canada, while on tour for Gomez.  They chose to name the blue-eyed husky mix, Baylor.  ”It was nice that they thought of the animals and came to visit our shelter while they were on tour,” D’Arcy, the owner of the shelter told E! News.

Cupid’s Advice:

Taking care of a pet is no easy feat, but it does come with some valuable lessons and perks.  Here are a few:

1. Prep for kids: If you’re considering having kids at some point, but are a little bit hesitant, consider bringing a pet into your family.  It’ll definitely teach you about the responsibility that goes into having another living thing to care for in your family.

2. Reliability and trust: Caring for a dog can teach you to rely on each other in a relationship.  You’ll also find out if your partner is capable and compassionate.

3. Sharing responsibility: If you’re raising a pet with your significant other, you can both do the duties that go along with it.  You can take turns walking a dog or cleaning a litter box.  It’s less work for you both.

    First off, I really love Justin and Selena. They look absolutely gorgeous together. And I think it’s great to take care of a pet as a couple; it’s like a practice thingy for having kids in the future. :) So sweet right?

    Oh I love pets; I believe that people who are nurturing to animals are kind-hearted individuals. As a couple, this will make both mature especially with handling shared responsibilities for rearing the dog. This is really exciting! :)

    They look so cute together. And adopting a pet really is the sweetest. It will bond them more; because they have a shared pet to enjoy.

    Pets are adorable. I wish I have someone to share it with; that further strengthens your bond together.

    Great! Since they’re still young it’s better to have a puppy for themselves.

  • Gary Phelps

    Getting a puppy is something good for them to share their love with.

  • Oliver Tiu

    They should get a puppy instead of having a baby! they’re still young.

  • Jerry Scott

    True! but they should be a responsible pet owner before getting one and should consider things.

  • Stanley Roberts

    Since they’re busy they need to make sure they have quality time for the puppy. Sweet!
