Ready to adopt a furry family member?
So, you’ve made the decision to add a furry member to your family…what an exciting time! No doubt you’ve been imagining playing, cuddling and training your new dog. You have probably been pouring through pictures online and oohing & aahing.
Before you fall completely in love with the picture you see, sit down with your family and answer the following questions honestly:
· What does your average day look like? Do you work from home or do you work in an office? Is your day quiet or filled with activities?
· How active is your family? Do you spend your weekends hiking? Or do you prefer watching sports/movies on the couch? Or are you somewhere in between?
· Does your new dog need to get along with other pets (dog/cat) or children?
· How big is your living space? Do you have a fenced-in yard for the new dog to run and play?
· How much time do you have for training – whether potty training or obedience training?
· Are you an experienced dog owner or is this your first dog?
These answers will help you and the rescue/breeder determine which dog is the best fit for your family. It is truly a joy when the right dog lands with her right family!
