AN ADULT DOG COULD BE YOUR PERFECT MATCH Is there anything cuter than a cuddly, tripping and tumbling little puppy? We all love those oversize paws and floppy ears! But to find puppy love, do you really need a puppy? Or, is an adult dog your perfect match? If you're thinking of welcoming a new dog into your home and have already determined which breed is best for you, your next decision should be if you should adopt a puppy or an adult dog. There is a lot to consider and it's not a choice to be made lightly. Here are three good reasons to consider an adult dog.  YOUR LIFESTYLE Are you a homebody or an on-the-go type of person? It is important to take a look at your lifestyle and determine if you truly have the time needed to raise a puppy. If your social or work schedule will keep you from devoting the time to take care of a brand new little pup, you may want to consider a trained adult dog. This may help you avoid many stressful situations, including those little puppy surprises carefully left on your rug. Remember accidents do happen! YOUR DOG'S PERSONALITY An adult dog's personality is more developed, meaning you know more or less what you get. Keep in mind, some behaviors that may have been established with a previous owner, good and bad, may be harder to change. So consider adopting an adult with a personality that fits your family or take home a pup and start molding them from day one to become the perfect match.  YOUR FAMILY If you have your own little toddlers or youngsters running around the house, you may want to wait before bringing home a puppy. Depending on their age, you may even want to consider if it is the best time to introduce a dog into your family circle. Unfortunately, too many times curious kids and dogs can accidentally hurt each other. Consider this carefully, and if you do choose an adult dog, look for one that has been raised with and are comfortable around kids. Choosing to bring home a puppy or an adult dog is and should be a big decision, but taking the extra time to consider what's best for you will help get the relationship off on the right paw.
