Pet Tips
The right dogSo you have researched and found the kind of dog that is right for you. But where are you going to find him? Where you are going to find your dog may even be more important than finding the right breed for you. There are lots of poor sources for dogs which can cause trauma. Also, when you buy from these sources, you may be contributing to the continuing problem of overpopulation of companion animals, and even to animal neglect and cruelty. You can bypass these unreliable and unethical sources by following these rules:1) Do your research, and buy or adopt your dog only from an ethical breeder, established rescue group, or an accredited shelter. 2) Don’t buy your dog from a puppy mill or a backyard breeder. 3) Do not ever buy a dog who seems sick. Call an animal control office if you are concerned about the welfare of a dog. 4) Before you begin looking for a dog, research your options. It’s hard to say no when your heart says yes. 5) Bring a list of things to look for in the facility where you are adopting your dog from, and make a list of questions you need to ask. Before deciding which avenue is right for you, consider what is important to you when buying or adopting a dog. If you adopt at a municipal shelter, you will be saving a life, but you won’t have a chance to find out your puppy’s background. When you adopt a purebred dog, you will have more information about the dog than from a shelter, and it will free up some space for another abandoned dog. Buying from a reputable breeder can be expensive, but you will get the most information about your new dog. It’s important to decide what you are the most comfortable with. Some people are happy with a purebred dog, while others are happy with a random-bred. In shelters, about a quarter of the adult dogs are purebred. Also, there are many breed-specific rescue groups. Overall, regardless of the pedigree, a good breeder or shelter will provide you with a friend for life. None are perfect, but they do provide support and give you honest information. No matter which choice you are going to make, it’s important to be ready and know what you want, and you will have a great experience buying or adopting your dog and bringing it home.
