Introduction

I don’t think anyone can deny that puppies are cute. But, as much fun as they are to play with and cuddle with, there are many reasons why adopting an adult dog may be the better option for you. Here’s a list of 10 reasons why:

Adult dogs are calm and well-behaved.

One of the biggest benefits of adopting an adult dog is that they are calmer and more mature than puppies. While it’s true that a puppy will grow up to be a calm adult, they are in their most energetic state when they’re young. An adult dog has had time to learn basic manners, such as not chewing on things or jumping on people, and will probably be house trained.

Adopting an adult dog also means you won’t have to worry about them destroying your furniture or digging holes in your yard (although if you don’t train your new furry friend not to do these things, he may continue despite being older). Adult dogs have been around enough humans that they’re less likely than puppies to bark at everything from the mailman walking down the street to leaves rustling across their lawns.

Adult dogs don’t need potty training.

If you have a young child, one of the biggest concerns when adopting a new dog is potty training. However, you may be surprised to learn that adult dogs already know how to use the bathroom outside and don’t need any training at all! In fact, this is something that puppies are taught by their breeders or previous owners. Many adult dogs even come with papers from their previous owners stating that they are housebroken and trained on basic commands such as “sit” or “stay”.

If you do choose an adult dog over a puppy, remember that all adults require socialization too. Just because your new furry friend knows how to stay off the couch doesn’t mean he will automatically warm up to other people in your home right away; it’s still important for all family members (and neighborhood kids!) to spend time with him daily so he feels comfortable around everyone who lives with him

Adult dogs are lower maintenance.

• Adult dogs are less likely to require professional grooming.
• Adult dogs are less likely to require professional training.
• Adult dogs are less likely to require professional vet care.
• Adult dogs are less likely to need professional dog walking and/or pet sitting services.

Adult dogs don’t destroy furniture or shoes.

One of the biggest reasons many people fear adopting an adult dog is that they are afraid their new furry friend will destroy their furniture, shoes and other household items. This is not a valid concern for most dogs over the age of three years old as they are generally well-behaved, calm and settled in their ways. Adult dogs are more likely to be trained to do their business outside and less likely to chew on things given some time and patience on your part.

If you’re looking for a pet who will not require much training at all, then an adult dog may be the perfect choice for you!

Adult dogs can share your bed without biting and nipping.

Adopting an adult dog means you won’t have to put up with any biting or nipping. No one likes a puppy in the bed, and if your new addition is over 1 year old, there’s a good chance they will already know how to share a bed (if not, it can be easily trained). Adult dogs know that their place is on the floor—so no more midnight wakeups from sharp teeth in your face or paws on your pillow.

Adult dogs restore your faith in humanity.

You might be thinking that an adult dog won’t be as cute or cuddly as a puppy. But you would be wrong! Adult dogs are just as lovable and playful, if not more so. There’s no denying the charm of a puppy, but once you get to know your new furry friend, you’ll find yourself completely smitten with them.

Adopting an adult dog is also a great way to help save the life of a dog in need. Many puppies come from breeders who treat their animals poorly and don’t have their best interests at heart. They often neglect basic needs like proper veterinary care or regular meals so they can maximize profits for themselves at the expense of these innocent creatures’ health and well-being. By adopting an adult dog rather than buying one from such places (or even worse – buying one off Craigslist), you can ensure that your new four legged companion will live much better than they would have otherwise by helping them avoid these kinds of conditions altogether!

Adult dogs have personality.

Along with being a little more mature than puppies, adult dogs have a personality too. Just like people, they can be shy or outgoing, energetic or laid back and playful or serious. If you want an active dog who loves to hike with you and play fetch in the backyard you’re more likely to find one in your local animal shelter than at your local pet store (although there are exceptions). The best part is that your adult dog’s personality will match up well with yours because it’s already fully developed!

If you’re not sure about adopting an adult dog because of their lack of training or basic obedience skills, don’t worry! Adult dogs can be taught just as easily as puppies and many even come pre-trained from shelters already knowing basic commands such as sit and stay.

Adult dogs are grateful and loving pets that really appreciate a good home for life.

Did you know that adult dogs are grateful and loving pets that really appreciate a good home for life? It’s true! Adult dogs have had time to develop their personalities, so they already have their likes and dislikes in place. They don’t need to adjust to the idea of having a new human family member in their life—they are ready to go from day one!

Adult dogs love going on walks with their families. Whether it’s around the block or through the woods, an adult dog will always be excited about getting out there and exploring. They also love knowing that they are being loved on by their humans whenever you stop for a quick cuddle session during your walk, or when you give them some extra attention after dinner before bedtime. When it comes down to it, most adult dogs would rather spend time with their people than anything else (but maybe not cats).

Puppies aren’t for everyone but an adult dog may be just right!

If you’re thinking about adopting a puppy, there are some things to keep in mind. While puppies are certainly adorable and fun to play with, they also require a lot of attention and training.

• There is no such thing as a pet that’s too young or too old to be adopted.
• Puppies have lots of energy! They need to run around, explore new places and meet new people every day. If your schedule doesn’t allow for this level of activity (or if you don’t want all that fur everywhere), then adopting an adult dog may be better suited for your lifestyle.

Having an adult dog is so much fun, especially if you save it’s life by rescuing it!

There are so many reasons to adopt a dog. Not only will you be saving their life, but it’s also a lot of fun. You get to choose the exact dog that you want to adopt and no longer have to worry about whether or not it will work out with your family. You can save money on food, toys and vet bills because an adult dog won’t need as much of those things as a puppy would need them for training purposes. And finally, since adult dogs don’t have any training yet done for them by previous owners, they’ll be easier to train yourself!
