Resolution Criteria

This market resolves YES if I acquire a pet (dog, cat, bird, reptile, fish, or other domesticated animal) before January 1, 2028. Resolution is based on my own confirmation of pet ownership. The pet must be living in my household and under my care. Temporary fostering or pet-sitting does not count.

Background

Pet ownership involves ongoing financial and time commitments, including food, veterinary care, housing accommodations, and daily care responsibilities. The decision to get a pet typically depends on factors like living situation stability, financial readiness, lifestyle compatibility, and personal preference for the type of animal.

Considerations

The timeframe extends approximately 22 months from now, providing a reasonable window for life circumstances to change. Pet acquisition can happen through adoption, purchase, or rescue, and the market does not distinguish between these methods.
