In case you didn’t know, yesterday was “DOGust 1st” the day we celebrate the birthdays of all shelter dogs, because their real birthday is unknown. It’s pretty much become a month long celebration now. It’s also a great month to adopt a furever friend.
Before you head out to a shelter to bring home man’s best friend, here are somethings to consider and tips for adding a pet to the family.
- Talk with a shelter staffer or counselor so they can help you pick out the right dog for your lifestyle.
- Make sure the age and type of dog works with your schedule. If you work a lot, a puppy isn’t a good idea.
- Consider where you live. If you rent, clear it with your landlord.
- If you have a pet, bring it to meet your potential pup.
- Research breeds to get an idea of which is best for you.
- It all comes down to youand your doggo being happy.
