Dogs are great, aren’t they? Fun, cheerful, playful, loyal… Although this may sound redundant, keep in mind that a dog is not a toy you can play with when you wish and then put it back in the box until the next time.
A dog is a sensitive and intelligent being that needs a happy home and an owner who will take good care of it for his entire life.
Surely, a dog is not like a child who will grow up, become independent and leave the nest. A dog will require your full care until the end of his life which can be for seven, ten, fifteen or even more years.
When you bring a new dog into your home, it is important to be patient as he will need time to adjust and get used to his new environment. It is very important that you seek professional advice on training and establishing a consistent routine for your furry best friend, as your proper approach and consistency will determine what kind of relationship you will develop and how harmonious your relationship will be.
If you are still interested in owning a dog, we advise you to consider adopting instead of buying, and making happy an abandoned friend who will give you all his gratitude and his heart forever!
Most of the dogs who are homeless are mixed breeds, and these are just some of their advantages:
– They are adaptable to different environments.
-They are intelligent because they have the survival instinct and they can take care of their own needs such as finding food and shelter, and they avoid “trouble”.
– They are very eager for your attention because that is what is often denied to them on the street.
– Everyone who has adopted a mixed breed dog will confirm that these dogs are extremely grateful for everything and repay you with unconditional affection and loyalty.
– As multi-breed mixes, these dogs generally do not carry the health risks of some purebred dogs, which means that they will be healthier and that you will have much lower costs of veterinary care.
-Each dog like this is completely unique, just like each of us! It has a unique character and appearance, as well as “personality”, which makes it easier for us to choose a suitable “dog persona” with which we will get along great.
– There is a very large selection of these dogs, and thus an opportunity to find just the right match between our character and their peculiarities.
-Contrary to the common prejudice that purebred dogs are easier to train, it is a verified truth that most mixed breeds that become pets actually can’t wait to obey you and be rewarded, thus very quickly they learn any behavior you ask of them.
Have you decided after this that you will give a chance to a sweet mixed breed who can’t wait for you to take him or her home? Then you’re in luck, because Dogs Trust can help you with this process from start to finish!
