Hypoallergenic dog breeds such as Yorkshire terriers and poodles. They've got hair instead of fur. Apart from that you'd have to look at reptiles or furless pets
a hamster

Unfortunately the idea of a hypoallergenic dog isn’t actually a real thing but you’re more likely to be allergic to cats Vs dogs so their is a chance that just because they’re allergic to cats doesn’t mean they’re allergic to dogs

I'd recommend getting a rescue if you can, maybe a dog. You'll feel great for doing it. Most people are inclined to go for kittens/puppies, but older animals need a loving home too. Definitely visit your local rescue shelters if you can and avoid buying from pet shops, which in many cases, do not comply with health regulations for animals and keep them in enclosures that are too small. This is especially the case with animals like hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.

It's true, but you need to understand the longevity of their lifespan. Before buying any pet, please ensure you do research on what it needs to be properly cared for. :smile:
