With Christmas on the horizon it is my hope that every dog gets his or her
chance to live out their days in a nurturing and stable home but it
is also my hope that decisions to
adopt are taken very seriously. Fighting the temptation to adopt a
shelter dog without thinking it through is difficult especially when you
think you could be his or her only hope (and you might be!).
Before filling out adoption papers my advice is to go home, take a deep breath, weigh the pros and cons, and review this "Are you ready to get a dog?"
checklist!
If you are still convinced that that dog is THE ONE my next
suggestion would be to bring your family members INCLUDING your other
dog with you to ensure a proper fit and then by all means ADOPT!
Please pass this post along to anyone you know who wants to adopt a dog this Christmas!
