Are you REALLY ready for a puppy?

When considering getting a puppy, there are several factors to keep in mind.

So you think it would be fun to have a puppy. After all, they are so cute and lovable! Sweet little ball of fur! Puppy kisses! Love, love, love! UNTIL! They pooped on the floor, peed on your freshly made bed, chewed up your very favorite new leather boots that you have been wanting and finally saved enough to buy! And that beautiful antique nightstand that was handed down from your great grandmother! That puppy!!!  That puppy just became a BAD puppy! Really? Not really......... That is what puppies do!​

​

Things to consider prior to purchasing a puppy:

  1. Normally a puppy is not fully potty trained until they are 5-6 months old as they don't have the muscle control until then. Are you ok with that? 

  2. Puppies have to have time to play and get tired out. Are you able to provide that time?

  3. Puppies need to be challenged as well or they will get bored.  Are you able to provide a learning environment?

  4. Puppies can be expensive. Are you able to provide vet care and regular grooming?

  5. What if you have an emergency situation. Are you able to provide financial assistance?

  6. Puppies need room to play. Do you have an appropriate yard and living area that can accommodate a puppy?

  7. Puppies need a stable lifestyle. Are you able to provide that?

  8. If you become unable to care for your puppy in the future, do you have someone who can take over the responsibility?​​
