    Why dont you look at getting a hypo-allergic dog. I heard they are better for people who have allergies.

  2. Andy Says:

    you can give her a reptile, amphibian, or fish. Fish are awesome ;)

    get her a pet rock from the 70’s

    If the Dogs dont bother her than a hampster certaniallly wont. But just make sure she keeps it clean. I wouldnt have her clean out the cage herself though because alot of allergies to animals is to their fecies and urine.

    hamsters are low allergen

    A hairless rat, I know it’s not the cutest thing in the world, but hey, at lest it’s something… Hope that helped…

    there are no such things as a hypo-allergenic dog, just a dog that sheds less (like poodles).

    well it depends what you want, do you want something warm and fuzzy or do you want something with scales?

    what is your sister allergic to?

    hamsters or rats are really cool :D

    I would suggest getting one of those :D
    Good Luck!

    like the answer above, you can get a small hypo-allergenic dog. you can also get her a reptile, ex. turtle, leopard gecko (which i think are cool, but watch out for tail, cuz its very sensitive), and others. if you get her a hamster or rats, im pretty sure she will be sick. sorry, but you only have those choices. get a small hypo-allergenic dog, or a reptile.
