I have rescue dogs and like yeah... they are a lot of work. I love them, but they take a lot of time and money and I can't explain concepts like "I'm very busy because of a deadline, please amuse yourself and I will make it up later". They have needs, and if I don't meet them nobody will.

I would not recommend adopting any non-human to someone that wasn't completely onboard with what they require, and aware that it means many other compromises like wear on things and travel restrictions but dogs can be particularly demanding on you time. Other non humans I have cared for have been able to enjoy their own company more or required less direct attention to play/exercise/socialise.
