I know the responsibility that entails being a pet mommie. I need to make certain I will be able to give her my all. I desire to give my life to 'her' and not get her for selfish reasons.

You touched on why animals.
They are unmistakably precious also in the eyes of the Creator. Woe unto those mistreating them. They do not realize.

I believe I heard once that the animal kingdom (and plants) could survive on earth without humans, but we cannot without them.
