Adopt dogs

Adopting a dog from an animal shelter or a NGO is the best way you can actually help dogs.

Dogs from an animal shelter may not be the best in breed, but they are the best pets to keep, as a watch dog, or as a pet for children.

A dog adopted generally has a high immunity level, that is why it is easier to maintain them.

All I wanted to say is adopting a dog is the best way you can help dogs,

reasons to adopt a dog

HAPPINESS

Dogs bring happiness wherever they go. A Dog will always be delighted in your company. He will wag his tail, skip about, go into ecstasies when you come home and eat all your leftovers with complaint. There's nothing brighter than a happy dog.


WALKING

Studies have shown that people who walk 10,000 steps a day live longer, happier lives. With a dog you will never have to walk alone, and the walk will pass quickly and enjoyably. Just seeing your furry friend having so much fun, you'll look forward to getting your daily exercise together.


SOCIALIZING

Walking your dog in the park is an excellent way to meet people. Neighbors walking their own dogs will start to chat with you, and Kids will come over to pet your dog. You can even meet people outside your neighborhood by taking your dog to a dog park. In fact, adopting a dog can even lead to marriage, as many couples can attest who met because of their dogs.


COMING HOME

With a dog you will always have someone to come home to, even if you live alone or your family is away on a trip. With the ecstatic greeting of a dog you will never feel lonely, and the house will never feel empty as you enter it.


PROTECTION

A dog will make your home safer. Burglars will avoid a house if they hear barking, and a dog will wake you up at night if he hears strange noises. Adopt a dog and you will become the proud owner of an animated doorbell, which barks instead of chiming, to let you know people are coming up to the house.


RESPONSIBILITY

Making a child responsible for a dog's welfare will give him a feeling of importance. The dog will depend on him, and the child will learn the value of living up to responsibility. And if you're an adult thinking of having children, a dog can offer you a glimpse into having someone look up to you and depend on you entirely.


UNDYING LOVE

A dog will love you without reservation. It doesn't matter what you look like, how you dress, or what car you drive. To your dog you will always be Superman or Wonder Woman, that incredible human he wants to be with all the time.


PAMPERING

Adopt a dog, and you will have an excuse for pampering someone with adorable clothes, toys and other wonderful accessories. Invent new games to play together, new treats, new parks to explore. The fun never ends when you have a dog to share your life.


HOLIDAYS AND BIRTHDAYS

What can be more wonderful than giving a dog as a gift? All the happiness and excitement that comes with adopting a dog will make the holiday or birthday even more special and memorable. Plan everything carefully, and buy all you'll need in advance, so that first day together will be carefree and full of laughter.

ArE yOu ReAdY fOr A dOg?

People generally do not treat dogs properly after buying or adopting them.
yes, I myself have seen dogs being kept out in the sun for hours and hours, and not given sufficient amount of food. My friends had the sneak the dog inside their house and feed him.

You must keep some things in mind before buying or adopting a dog.

First, you, your kids and all the adults in your household should agree that you want a dog. Look down the road for the life of the animal, which could be 10, even 20 years.

Do you have the patience and commitment to train your dog and understand his ways of communication? Dogs thrive on obedience classes; they're generally happier when trained.

How old are your children? Puppies have extra-sharp teeth and claws and strike back when teased. Toy-sized dogs may be too delicate for an exuberant toddler; large dogs can knock a child over. Some breeds, despite size, are domineering or high-strung.

Is anyone in the house allergic? Different species and breeds elicit different reactions. Spend time with a similar pet at a friend's house before choosing yours.

Is an adult willing to shoulder ultimate responsibility for the animal's care? Pets can teach a child about loyalty and responsibility, but you can't expect a child to do all the work of feeding and walking.

How much time does your family spend at home? Animals like regular schedules. Dogs need to be walked and exercised. Do you know who'll take care of your pet when you go on a trip?

Can you tolerate some damage to furniture and floors until your new pet becomes accustomed to your home? Will you take accidents, even flea infestations, in stride?

Do you have the financial means to support a dog? Shelter adoption fees are usually minimal, compared to prices paid to a breeder or pet store. But the costs of medical care, training, food, grooming, toys and other supplies add up.
