What steps should I take in adopting a dog?

Be Patient in Adopting

First do some research and figure out what kind of dog you want for your family. Consider if you want a purebred or a mixed breed dog. Be patient and visit a range of shelters and animal rescue groups. Make sure that you interact with the dog that you are interested in and find out as much about her history as possible. A dog's personality, activity level, and size should always be taken into consideration before you adopt.
