How to Adopt a Dog Pt 2: Figure out your priorities
Part 2 coming atchya! This episode takes you through the steps to figuring out ,your priorities in the type of dog you're looking for. So when you do go to the rescue/shelter to get a dog (explained more in part 3) you will know what you're looking for.
Step 1: Ask yourself why do you even want a dog.
Companionship?
Therapy dog?
Someone to exercise with?
Step 2: Assess your lifestyle and routine.
What is your work schedule?
Am I near kids or other dogs very regularly?
Does my apartment have breed or weight restrictions?
Step 3: Figure out your NEEDS vs WANTS
This one is a bit hard to tease out but a good example is: I have kids so my future dogs NEEDS to be fine with kids running around but I WANT the dog to actually play with my kids. Either way you're getting a happy healthy dog that will love your family but its an added bonus "WANT" for them to actually be active with the kids.
