 Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.  Hellen Keller |

Now that you're ready to find your puppy, you need to decide whether to buy from a breeder or pet store or adopt from a shelter, breed rescue group, or Good Samaritan. The decision to bring a dog into your heart and home is a huge one, and you shouldn't take your role as a pet parent lightly. You're responsible for the welfare of a living, breathing creature. Know what you're getting into-and what impact you can make.
Looking to bring a new pet into your home? Whether it's a cat, dog, rabbit, or any other pet, adding a new member to your 'furry family' can be a wonderful idea and enrich both your life and the lives of your current pets. Before you bring that new animal home, however, do your homework first. Many, if not most, animals thrive when a new pet is brought home, but if the match is off, or your current pet isn't the 'sharing type', the results could be disastrous for the animals, you, and your home.
Ticks and fleas and worms - just the thought of them can make your skin crawl, let alone the thought of them infesting your home. Yet, if you have a pet in your home, you have to face the real possibility that you might be hosting these little parasites too. Fortunately, and by learning about the various parasites that attack your pet as well as the measures and medicines for eradicating them, you can prevent them from wreaking havoc on your pet and evict them out of your home for good.
Whether it's a cottage, farmhouse, condo, mansion, apartment, or igloo, your home is your castle. And if you're thinking of sharing that castle with a new canine housemate, there are going to be some important things you'll want to consider before bringing your new dog home. Like people, some dogs thrive in one environment, and struggle in another. Therefore, for your sake, your dog's sake, and your home's sake, you'll want to think about which dogs best fit your home environment before sharing it with a new pet.
"Dogs enhance my camping experience," says Mardi Richmond, co-author of Ruffing It: The Complete Guide to Camping With Dogs. "Jess and Blue notice things I don't; following the flick of an ear, or a sniffing nose, I'll see something wonderful I would have missed."
The decision to get a new dog is not one that should be made lightly. Every year, too many dogs are left abandoned in the streets by owners who made rash decisions and quickly found themselves unable to take care of their pet. Many times, these owners forgot to consider the most important thing when choosing their dog, themselves! You can avoid making a similar mistake by clearly thinking out your expectations and doing some careful research and make an informed decision you won't regret.
