Top Reasons To Adopt V.S Buy

Having a baby dog running around is one of the
cutest things. Being able to pick out the breed
of puppy you want is the most exciting part. A
lot of people think that if you adopt a dog from
a shelter or rescue service, that you have little
say in the breed or age of the dog. That is just
incorrect. You can get a puppy in the breed you
want, plus you get these perks:

Knowing their behavior.

A lot of people looking into getting a dog
express concerns that dogs from shelters could
act strange. But, think about it—you have no
idea what a puppy will grow up to be like. Most
rescue services and shelters observe and
understand the behavior of their pups and can
let you know which one will be your best match.
At the shelter where I rescued my dog, each pup
had a different colored collar on that was
indicative of their behavior. Certain colors
meant the dog did not like children, or did not
like old people, did not like other dogs, did
not like cats, or maybe liked absolutely
everybody! Dogs from shelters are typically
already advanced at least a couple years in age
and so the behavior you see is the behavior
you'll get.

They are grateful.

You really can tell the difference between a
rescued dog and one from a breeder. Dogs in a
shelter usually share cramped spaces with other
dogs and maybe--on good weeks--get pet once a
day, and maybe walked once a week. Possibly no
human can say "I love you" as genuinely as a
rescued dog's eyes say it. I work from home, and
often talk to and even end up singing to my pup.
He become so happy when I get up and sing to him
and dance. He sits up and wags his tail and just
looks so happy to have human interaction. I
actually think I might be becoming a better
singer.

You can choose your breed.

To encourage people to adopt rather than shop,
plenty of rescue services specific to one breed
have been founded. I rescued my pup from a
rescue service that housed 93 basset hounds.
This enables bonding between you and the perfect
dog for you. At a breeder, you maybe can meet 15
dogs at most. And you just have to settle for
the ones there.

They are house trained.

Most rescue services house train their dogs
before adopting them out, as well as neuter or
spay them, give them all of their shots and even
microchip them. These services could cost over
$500 if you had to pay for them yourself. When
all is said and done, all that comes out of your
pocket is a minimal adoption fee between $100 and
$300.
