Here Are 3 Ways To Bring Home A Dog!

Want to bring a new dog into your home, but don’t want to support the dubious structure of pet shops? There are plenty of options available to you, no matter what you’re looking for! Here are three great ways to get a dog.

From A Breeder

For people who want purebred dogs, want young puppies, or have very specific requirements in mind, a breeder is often the go-to. However, you have to be very careful about this option! Make sure the breeder is reputable, visit the breeding premises, and make sure you can get a full health report and even meet the parents and the rest of the litter.

From A Shelter

If you want a purebred but want to adopt over purchasing for a breeder – which we highly recommend! – many privately-owned shelters that focus on specific breeds are available. There are also human societies, county shelters, and other options that may have purebred dogs in need of forever homes.

For A Rescue Organization

These are similar to shelters in that they focus on rescuing and helping dogs, but they typically don’t have the same “valued” selection of purebred dogs. Many of these dogs may also have behavioral or health issues. You can opt to volunteer as a foster first to see if this type of situation works for you!
