Are you ready to take on the responsibility of owning a pet? There are many things to consider before making your decision. What breed will you get? How much money can you afford to provide for this new addition to the family? Why do you want a dog?

1) Find out what breed of dog best suits your lifestyle - Are you active? Are you home a lot? Do you have children? Do you work 24 hours a day? These are all things that need to be considered before adopting a pet.

2) Ask shelter staff lots of questions - We are the people that are with the animals every day. We will assist you in determining the animals personality traits, likes, dislikes, and temperaments. Also, if you are looking for a specific breed or personality type, our shelter staff may be of help to you.

3) Keep your options open - A pet does not have to be a puppy to be a loyal companion. Older animals have a lot to offer. Often times older dogs are already house-broken and leash-trained.

4) Take your time - This is a very important decision. It may take awhile to find that perfect pet, so be patient. You may have to visit the shelter a few times before you find the one that is right for you.

5) Make it a family decision - If this pet will be a family pet, make your family a part of the decision. How does the dog get along with everyone?How does everyone get along with the dog? Remember you are choosing an animal to be a member of the family. Your pet may live as long as 16 or 18 years. Are you and your family prepared for such an important commitment?

6) Give your animal some time to adjust - Once you bring your new pet home, remember that he or she's in a new place and has to learn the lay of the land. Let your pet wander around and sniff. If there are children in the home, explain to them that the animal may need a few days to adjust before he is comfortable enough to play. Most importantly, be patient. It may take a few weeks for the animal to feel at home and for his true personality to emerge.
