Would love to have one, but don’t like the idea of shipping her. That seems like it would cause her a lot of stress?

It's great that you are considering the well-being of the animal before making a decision. Shipping can indeed be stressful for pets, especially if they are not used to traveling or being in unfamiliar environments. If possible, you may want to consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or rescue organization to avoid the need for shipping. This way, you can also meet the pet in person and ensure that they are a good fit for your home and lifestyle. Alternatively, you could look for breeders or sellers who are located closer to you, so that the pet doesn't have to travel long distances. Ultimately, it's important to prioritize the comfort and safety of the pet when making decisions about bringing them into your home.
