Adopting a dog can be a very exciting and rewarding experience. To find that one true friend who will love you unconditionally, who you can have plenty of fun with on those long country walks and having a lifetime companion to help you unwind.
There is a reality to all this though, a lot of dogs in rehoming centres have had quite a stressful time adapting to a change in their situation - relationship breakups, owners passing away or neglect and abuse.
So as animal lovers you will need to:
Fully commit to offering them the absolute best home
Make sure they enjoy every minute of their time with you
Help them regain confidence
Make them a full member of the family
Accept that it may not be an easy ride all of the time
Look at ways to help train and exercise them so that you can develop an even closer bond in understanding each other
