Adopting a dog of any kind will change your life in unexpected ways, just like having kids or finding a new best friend would. Technically, you are finding a new best friend. Your bond with your dog could end up being one of the most important relationships of your lifetime. And there are lots of options you might consider for where and when to find your perfect pet.
Every family has a different dog in mind when they set out to bring this new fluffy friend into their home. Some families want a big, burly guard dog while others want a little cutie-pie to plop on their laps.
Some families have an excess of time and resources to spend on a difficult dog, while others are intimidated by training and making time in their busy schedules. But no matter your situation, this much is true: In an animal shelter somewhere near you, the perfect dog is lonely and waiting for you to take it home.
It’s definitely a lot of work to get a dog, especially if it’s a rescue. Dogs with complicated histories can take time to adapt to a new situation, and it’s not always easy, but there are many unexpected benefits for choosing a rescue dog over a pup bought from anywhere else. Here are some reasons why rescue dogs make better pets.
