This is not at all to sound mean, but I think if you can't be sure you can care for it, then you probably shouldn't get one until you are. That's not to say that even if you did commit, something unforeseen might come up that would constitute an emergency rehoming, but for the most part, I don't think it's fair to the animal to get it and then give it up.
And, after many years of being in rescue, I've seen and heard too many bad things happening to "Free to good home" pets. Too often they're taken by people who want an easy-care disposable animal, and it doesn't get the best of care. If you do get one, and end up giving it up, at least ask for a small rehoming fee. If people invest a little money, they'll be a little invested in the animal.
