Since I work at an animal shelter, and it's pretty much my entire life, I really try to get people to consider adopting an adult before looking at the puppies. Now, I know that puppies are cute and playful and sweet, but hear me out: getting an adult dog can be very benificial.
Reasons:
1. More times than not, the adult dog will be housebroken.
2. No chewing!
3. Older dogs won't wake you up in the middle of the night. (They enjoy sleep as much as you do!)
4. No home-alone driven home-destruction.
5. Easier vet trips.
6. What You See Is What You Get. Size, temperment, personality, activeness, etc.
7. Adult dogs aren't as nippy.
8. Instant companion. Older dogs can go everywhere and do everything with you NOW.
9. The deepness of the bond. Dogs who have been uprooted from their happy homes or have not had the best start in life are more likely to bond very completely and deeply with their new people.

Have I convinced you? Those of you who think dogs are only worth having when they're cute little puppies, you are WRONG! A dog's ability to love people does not diminish after puppyhood. If anything, it strengthens it! :nod:

This is free to use, but please :+fav: and/or comment letting me know you're using it. It will just make me happy. :D

I gave you my heart, so take care of it dearly.

I have nothing against adopting an adult, but I prefer buying puppies from breeders. For one thing, you can supervise their training on your own, and you have more time to bond with them. Of course, having an adult dog has its perks, for one thing they're over the nipping stage. ><

92% of teens would die of lack of oxigine if Abercrombie were to say 'it's not cool to breath'. Post this on your sig if you would be under the 8% of people who would die laughing at the 92%.
