These pets are pure joy
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Taurus is as loyal and fiercely protective as they come, and they're drawn to pets that embody the same characteristics. Bullmastiffs aren't just beautiful (a must for any Taurus) but they're calm, loyal and develop strong family bonds with their humans.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Gemini is drawn to intelligence and loves to shock and surprise people, which makes a pot-bellied pig the perfect pet choice. These four-legged oinkers are incredibly smart and love being challenged, but they're also capable of forming close, loving relationships with their humans (which Gemini craves).
Cancer
Cancer doesn't look at their pets as animals, but rather as their four-legged, furry children. While this sensitive sign can get along with any pet, they prefer ones that are smart, inquisitive and communicative (and enjoy being doted on by their humans). That makes hounds, such as a harrier or even a beagle, the perfect new family member.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
In a perfect, stress-free world, Leo would be surrounded by a harem of fluffy cats, a pack of obedient, well-groomed dogs and maybe a horse or two. But real life dictates that Leo, no stranger to anxiety issues, needs a pet that is soothing and easy to care for. An aquarium of beautiful fish will help calm this pacing lion sign.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Virgo tends to battle their inner critic and needs a pet that will help them feel more confident. A Great Dane isn't just a magestic dog breed, they're also patient, loving and proud. When this maiden sign walks with their regal-looking canine, they're likely to feel a bit more awesome about themselves, too.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Libra's middle name might as well be "Love," and they are some of the most affectionate people in the zodiac. They need a pet that can handle being endlessly cuddled while also having an adventurous, playful streak. Retrievers and Labradors are both perfectly suited for this extroverted star sign because they're happy as long as they're with the humans they love.
