In reply to Michaela. Congratulations on your new puppy! If you have concerns about your puppy's health it is best to bring him in to your veterinarian for a checkup.

Hey Colby!

We just recently adopted a 6 week old lab mix pup from the shelter. When we were looking at him/playing with him there he had tons of energy. He was neutered before coming home with us and 3 days later he sleeps all day except to go out to potty, drink and eat. Should I be concerned that something is wrong with him? Or is he just recovering from the surgery still as well as the kennel cough he has?

Nice points 🙂

I always bring small puppies at home and feed them.. Now, most of the dogs are familiar with me.. But I never adopted those puppies.. I have my cute pug which I have bought few months ago.. 🙂

In reply to Rob. Well said! Linus is has been my best buddy for the almost 9 years now and it all started when we made the decision to rescue from the Animal Shelter.

Great post Colby! Rescue dogs make great pets! It’s too bad others miss this simple truth. Six years ago we adopted a Chocolate Lab from a local shelter and have had the best four legged friend a family could ask for! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a pet to start at the local animal shelter and save a life.

Thank you for this article! My family has been owned by 3 dogs in my lifetime and they have all been rescues. We even adopted a purebred Cocker Spaniel out of our local no-kill shelter. Next weekend we’re bringing home our first ever puppy. She’s a Miniature Australian Shepherd/Beagle mix. So I’m really glad I found this site! TONS of useful information!

In reply to wendy sanchez. Thanks Wendy! We are big fans of puppy adoption. We used to foster litters of pups back before we started raising guide dogs.

What a very nice and detailed article. I agree with you specially on reasons number 2 , 4 and 6. We save money by adopting a rescued puppy, we save a life and the puppies will love us and reduce our stress in return.
Hope you’ll write more articles like this.

Hi Eric and Tracy,

Thank you for sharing your story! We adopted Linus from the animal shelter years ago and just like you it was the best decision we ever made as well!

Take care,
Colby
