Is your home suitable for a dog?
Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Before adopting a dog, ask yourself the following 10 questions.
- What’s the best breed for our lifestyle?
- Will we have the time to give the dog the proper training?
- Will there always be someone around to walk and feed the dog?
- Are the children old enough to be given the responsibility of caring for a dog?
- We will have the time to care for the dog? Are we away too much?
- Who will care for the dog if we are away?
- Can we afford the extra expense?
- Is our yard large enough and secure enough for the dog to play outside?
- Are we home enough? Dogs get lonely and like to have people around
- Are we getting the dog for the right reasons? (Not just because our child wants one.)
Seriously, ask yourself these questions before you decide to adopt a dog.
Remember,your pets count.
