If you want a new puppy for your home, it is a good idea to adopt the dog. There are so many waiting to be adopted that this is a great option to consider. When you get a new puppy this way, there are some tips that you need to consider so that you can get what you really want.
Get a breed that is going to fit your normal lifestyle. If you are busy, you do not want to get a dog that is going to need lots of attention and exercise. Find one that tends to be a bit more inactive because this is fair. It is not fair to get a breed that needs quite a bit of attention and exercise and be stuck inside at your home without much to do at all.
If you want a specific breed, just call all the local shelters. Let them know what your intentions are that you are just wanting this breed as a pet. Leave your contact information so that if a dog like this shows up that you might be able to come pick it up. Adoption shelters like this since they know that the next time they see this dog, it is going to have a home.
Make sure you pick up a breed that is going to fit into your space. Large dogs for example do not fit well into small apartments. Make sure you get a puppy that is going to fit your space when fully grown.
Make sure your home is safe for the new puppy. Remove cords that are hanging down. Get natural cleaning products for your floors. Get rid of any hazards in your yard that could hurt your dog.
Get a puppy that looks healthy. Get all medical history if there is any on the pet. Take your pet to the vet and continue medical treatment so that your pet can remain healthy.
Try to find a puppy with no signs of abuse. Abused animals find themselves at these shelters quite a bit. These animals are hard to bring into your home without issues.
