All pets in the Weyr are going to have to earn their keep.
Dogs can either be put to work herding or learn to be spit dogs... firelizards... messengers... felines can catch tunnel snakes.
I have one question to pose though... if we (the Weyr) brought you on Search how did you get yer runner to the stables? Would the search rider be nice enough to put up with a scared feline trying to scratch his eyes out or a scared puppy wetting him? Also, what happens to your possessive doggy or kitty when you Impress?... What is yer dragon going to think about that?... Will you have time for said pet?
This are things to consider when making a Candidate. (wait didn't we say no Candidates? Basicly because I would like you to think more of their history before standing. it doesn't mean you cant be Searched out... thing is... the Weyr wouldn't go looking for Candidates before the eggs were laid.)
Giving up yer pets and leaving home is all part of becoming a Candidate... you give up just about everything... you put yer career on hold, say bye to family and friends... most of you wouldnt have been farther than 30 miles from a home hold before... it is a verra new and emotional time.
P.S.
Adult riders... you have my permission to have dragons eat some one's dog or cat... or even runner... they have two days to repond trying to rescue the animal... if they don't...by all means have a draggie snack.
If you have a pet... play that pet in your posts as well... they aren't just there for 'bio candy' if so... they will be treated as such. Reread above statement.
