The house is big for your family. You feel lonel when there is only you in the house. If you are in that condition，how about adopting a dog. And the Dog Shelter may be a perfect place for you.Adopting a dog from a shelter is a big step.So to help you through the process, I will tell something useful.
National figures indicate that about half of the animals in shelters are euthanized for lack of homes. Animals at your local shelter are just waiting for someone like you to givem them a new home. So you first step is browsing your local dog shelter network station to decide which dog breed you want to keep.On average, purebreds account for about 25 to 30 percent of a shelter's dog population. You can depend on responsible shelters to assess the animals' health and temperament in order to make the best adoption matches possible.
Then you go to visit the shelter in person .Don't be discouraged if there are no animals of the breed or type that you want. Shelters receive new dogs every day. Your shelter may also have a waiting list and can call you when a dog matching your preference becomes available. Before choosing your pet, you can even speak with an adoption counselor about whether your choice of a particular type or breed will be best for you.
Dog shelters are your best source when looking for a pet. One advantage to shelter adoptions is that the fees are usually much less than the purchase price of a dog from a pet store or breeder. And your new pet is more likely to be vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed or neutered. What'more,many shelters provide adoption counseling and follow-up assistance, such as pet parenting and dog-training classes, medical services, and behavior counseling. Or they may be able to refer you to providers of these services.
