When I first decided to get a dog I didn’t know much about dog breeders, pet stores, rescue dogs, or why adopting a shelter dog might be a better alternative. After you’ve made the decision to bring a dog into your life you have many options as to where you will get a dog. Here are a few of the choices I thought about before making my final decision: Adopt A Dog From The Animal Shelter Adopt A Dog From A Rescue Buy A Dog From A Breeder Buy A Dog From The Pet Store I’m going to go in depth on my reasoning for getting Linus from the animal shelter. However, I don’t plan on going into detail on why you should or should not go with any of the other three options on this list. If you are looking for a dog I’d recommend either getting a dog from the animal shelter or from an animal rescue. If you’re looking for a specific breed you can find dog rescues dedicated to just about any breed. I’ve also read that 25% of the animals at the shelter are purebred dogs. Try looking for rescue and shelter dogs at Petfinder.com

However, we do know that some might choose to purchase a dog from a breeder. If you decide to get your dog from a breeder make sure you do your due diligence. Do some research on how to find a good breeder. After you know how to find a good breeder make sure you apply that information when looking for your next dog.

Yesterday I was driving home from work when I saw a dog stick his head out the car window . It was a beautiful Golden Retriever wearing a gentle leader, sniffing the air, and in general just enjoying the car ride. I pulled out my handy dandy new DROID Phone and snapped a few pictures while waiting at the stop light. This got me to thinking why do dogs like to stick their head out the car window ? As usual I began my search on the web and also asked a few dog loving friends the question: Why do dogs stick their head out the car window

Does your dog get car sick ? Are you tired of cleaning up the vommit in your back seat? These are two questions I was asking myself when I first brought my puppy Linus home from the animal shelter. Lucky for us our first drive home from the shelter went quite well. We had Linus sleeping in a small box in the back seat. He slept the entire way…in fact he was so tired when we got home my girlfriend went to get him out of the box and initially thought he was dead. We later found out that he was sick and needed veterinarian attention. Linus and I didn’t go on another car ride for about another month when I started back up at school. I didn’t want to leave him home alone while I was at class and instead drove him over to my parents house to play with their dog and get attention from my mother and father. This is when the trouble began and might I remind you that at the time I had a new Mazda RX-8 sports car
