Introduction

I love puppies. I mean, honestly, who doesn’t? But they’re also a lot of work and responsibility. Not to mention that they can be expensive if you don’t do your homework before adopting one (or having your kids adopt one). So let me help you out with some advice on how to find the perfect puppy for your family!

Join a shelter or animal rescue group to adopt a puppy.

You can find a shelter or animal rescue group near you on the internet. If you do, it is highly likely that this shelter will have lots of puppies available for adoption. Shelters know their dogs well and will provide you with all the information you need about any puppy that interests you.

Have you adopted a puppy before?

Have you adopted a puppy before? If so, what was your experience? How did you find the puppy and did you have any problems with the adoption process?

If not, would you be open to adopting from a pet store or breeder in the future?

Are you ready to adopt a puppy right now?

So, you want to adopt a puppy. That’s great! But are you sure? Are you really sure?

First off, if the answer is no, then that’s okay. There are many things in life to consider before taking on a new dog or puppy and it’s good to know yourself well enough to know whether or not this is something that makes sense for your family right now.

However, if the answer is yes (and by “yes” I mean both “yes” and “yay”), go ahead and adopt one! Before doing so, however; here are some things to keep in mind:

• Your new little friend will need time—and exercise—to get used to his new home and family. Don’t expect him/her to be sleeping through the night after just one day; most puppies don’t sleep through until they reach six months old at least! Be prepared for some restless nights while your puppy adjusts their schedule around yours. It’ll all be worth it though when he settles in nicely as an older puppy rather than an energetic young one ready for playtime 24/7.* The best part about adopting from an animal shelter is knowing exactly what type of dog you’re getting because they screen each potential adopter thoroughly before placing them with their new owner.* When adopting from a breeder or pet store instead of an animal shelter — which can mean either buying directly from them or purchasing through another seller such as eBay — there tends not only be less information available about how much training has been done on particular pets but also whether any medical issues exist within their lineage back several generations due simply having more genetic diversity between themselves than shelters do (which typically only house animals coming directly out

Don’t get puppies from pet stores that buy from puppy mills.

There are many reasons why you should not get a puppy from a pet store. The first reason is that most pet stores do not have the best reputation when it comes to animal welfare, and this is because they are typically supplied by puppy mills. Puppy mills are places where animals are bred for profit and treated inhumanely. They do not care about the health or happiness of their dogs and cats—they only care about making money! This can result in poor treatment of animals, which often leads to sicknesses like kennel cough (a bacterial infection).

Another reason why you should avoid buying your next dog from a pet store is because they don’t always have purebreds available; instead, they will usually sell mixed-breed puppies without informing customers of this fact. If you’re looking for a particular breed with specific characteristics such as size or coloring, there’s no guarantee that anything similar will be available at any given time—and even if it was available once upon a time, chances are good those puppies would be sold out by now due to popularity!

Taking your puppy home for the first time.

Once you’ve decided on a puppy and the adoption is final, it’s time to bring your new best friend home. This can be an exciting moment—but also one that requires preparation. Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Make sure you have time to devote to your puppy. Some dogs require more attention than others, so it’s important that you are ready for this commitment before taking your pet home.
• Make sure you have a vet lined up. It’s especially important if this is the first time you’ve had pets before! You’ll want to make sure they get all their vaccinations and checkups as needed throughout their lives with you.
• Make sure you have a carrier or crate for the car if appropriate (this depends on what kind of puppy). Also make sure there’s food, water bowls and toys at home so there aren’t any issues once settling into its new environment!

What if I can’t adopt a puppy?

If you cannot or do not want to adopt a puppy, there are still other options.

• Find a friend who knows about dogs and will be willing to help you take care of one.
• Talk with your family about getting an older dog that has been in foster care for awhile, as they may make great pets!
• Go through your local animal rescue center or shelter and see if they have any adult dogs that need homes—especially if there are puppies available at the same time! You can also volunteer at these centers, which is a great way to learn more about how they operate and how much work goes into caring for animals (and people!).
