Everybody knows that dogs make great pets. They are the ones who'll love you unconditionally and be a perfect companion, throughout their life. However, if you are tired of living an organized life with an extremely obedient dog, perhaps you should try adopting a puppy. Trust these super cute fur balls to play havoc in your life, if you dare to adopt one.
Adopting a puppy requires tremendous patience on your part. Not only do they need 24 hours of care and attention, but they can also drain you physically and emotionally. To cut the long story short, adopting a puppy is pretty much similar to adopting a child. The purpose of this article is not to scare you and deter you from adopting a puppy, but only warn you against the possible hazards. If you are determined to adopt a puppy, then go ahead and read further.
How to Find Puppies for Adoption?
Inquire in Your Neighborhood
If you do not have any preferences for the breed of the puppy, then you can ask around in your neighborhood, if anyone has a new arrival of litter of puppies. It is very unusual for people to keep an entire litter, hence, your neighbors will be more than happy to give away a few puppies for adoption. You can also ask your friends or colleagues, if they know someone with freshly arrived litter of puppies.
Pet Shops
Most people buy a puppy for adoption from local pet shops. Most likely, the pet shops will have the breed you ask for (if it's popular in your country) and even if they don't, they'll make arrangements within a few days. This is the most convenient option for dog adoption as you can actually get to choose the pup as per your preferences.
Breed Rescue Organizations
Breed rescue organizations are the groups that specialize in a particular breed. They are a great option if you have preferences for a particular breed only and are not willing to settle for any other. However, you may find it difficult to get a puppy for adoption as most of the groups keep adult dogs.
Animal Shelter or Pet Rescue Groups
Animal shelter or dog rescue groups are helpful if you do not have preferences for breed. Actually, getting a mixed breed puppy for adoption is a far better option than pure breeds, as the chances of genetic deformities in mixed breed dogs are less. This is because there is no inbreeding in case of mixed breed dogs.
Internet
Just like any other thing in the world, you'll also find puppies for adoption on the Internet. Several animal rescue groups or even private dog breeders post their advertisements on the Internet. The Internet gives you an array of options to choose from, from local breeds to rare, exotic breeds of puppies. However, it would be wise to stick to the local breeders or the rescue groups in your locality.
As mentioned before, adopting a puppy involves a lot of responsibility. Puppies do not necessarily make great gifts, else we would not see so many puppies put up for adoption, in pet shops after Christmas or a holiday season. Hence, think twice before you go for puppy adoption.
