Thinking about adding a new puppy or dog to your family?

Congratulations! Dog ownership is a wonderful thing and truly one of life's most rewarding experiences. Offering unconditional love and affection, dogs can make wonderful companions - and add many hours of joy and pleasure to your life, and that of your family.

But dog ownership is also a serious responsibility and the decision to get a dog requires careful thought and consideration. Prospective dog owners must recognize the significant investment of time, energy, and money that is required. Making an impulsive decision to get a dog will only lead to frustration, disappointment, and eventually, the unfortunate surrender of your dog to a shelter or rescue. Before beginning the search for a new puppy or dog, do your homework. Be informed - it is your best defense!

The following information will help you determine:

• your readiness to get a dog
• the right breed for your personality and lifestyle
• your ability to make the financial investment
• your preparedness to focus upon training, supervision and care of your dog
