It is not only love that is needed for a rescued animal with a bad fate who is adopted. This commitment is much more than that.
Adopting a pet sounds great, but it can become a double-edged sword if you don't think before you act.
We know how much a dog can give, but the idyllic image must be dispelled somewhat by the fact that the person who adopts an animal also assumes a serious responsibility.
It is important to consider the role for which the dog is intended. If we want a lap, then we should not think of a large dog, and some breeds do not excel in the field of guarding the house, if that is exactly what we need.
It is important that if several people live together in the same house, then all members of the family should want a dog, so it should be a unified decision. At the same time, we cannot neglect to consider the environment. How big is the house, is there a garden, can we provide a daily walk in the absence of a garden? If you already have another pet, then a dog that is used to being alone is not a good choice.
It is very important to consider that it is long-term care. Can we provide him with daily and years-long care?
Do we want a young or older dog? Because there can be a big difference in habit and a very active, energetic young person requires completely different care than an elderly person.
You should also be aware that adopting a dog does not bring financial benefits. Moreover, it can involve a lot of expenses. You have to think not only about buying the products necessary for your care, but also about regular medical examinations and other possible interventions.
