| How to Adopt-A-Dog 10 Tips on Finding A Great Dog 1. Purebred puppies and dogs can easily be found at the nearest breeder. These dogs will cost more but will most likely be the healthiest. 2. Mixed breed dogs can be located at your local animal shelter or through a private adoption. Check the local dog shelter weekly and also watch for ads in your local newspaper. You may be lucky enough to locate the breed you are searching for. 3. Beware of dogs that come from Puppy Mills and back alley Pet Stores. Do a little research before you buy. Call your local vet, they should know who to trust. 4. Ask about fees before purchasing and find out what shots or medical needs the dog is required to have. 5. Beware of dogs that bite, growl or are to shy. Ask about the dogs history. Make sure the dog gets along with other dogs. 6. Make sure everything feels right. If the hair on the back of your neck is tingling or you are not 100% sure, walk away. 7. Discuss or think about what size dog fits your environment and lifestyle. Make sure you undertand if your dog will be an outside or indoor dog. 8. Purchase everything you will need for your dog before you bring them home. Make sure you have food, water bowl, bed, toys, brush, crate and something to chew on. 9. Beware that many puppies will chew on things. Prepare your home if you choose a puppy or dog that chews. 10. Know who is going to care for the dog or puppy before you make your choice. Also think about a dog sitter. You will need one when you are away. |
