Adopting a Dog from a Shelter - Things to Think About

-

Pet adoption is a generous, pet-saving choice you can make and save an animal’s life in the process. However, choosing to adopt a dog from the shelter is just a beginning of a journey. When you start actually considering adopting a pet from one of the dog adoption shelters in Dubai, instead of just browsing dogs for sale in Dubai, here are some of this things you need to think about:


-      The dog you see in the dog adoption shelter in Dubai might not be displaying its usual behavior. Shelters can be scary places, noisy and overcrowded, and the dogs may have abandonment issues or may have been mistreated by their previous owners, so it would take a bit of time before they feel safe and relaxed enough to become their own happy, trusting selves again. Don't be put off by a dog that stays at the back of the box too tired or nervous to greet you, or by the dog that leaps at the kennel door as you walk past. Remember these dogs may behave very differently once out of the dog shelter.

-      Therefore, don’t make a decision on your first visit. If you’ve liked a dog and think it will be your perfect forever friend, keep visiting it, take it for a walk, spend some alone-time together and get to know the dog before you take him home.

-      Think about bringing a dog into a safe, but structured environment. Talk to your family or housemates about rules for caring for the dog. What will he be allowed? Where would he sleep and eat? Who would take him for walks and when? Shelter dogs need routine and structure, so be prepared to be on the same page about this with your family members, because too much discipline on one hand and too much spoiling treats on the other would make the dog confused and tense.

-      Think about getting all the necessary items you need for a dog. ID tags, a collar and a leash, food and water bowls, food, dog toys, a crate and bedding, and basic grooming tools. When purchasing all of these, bear in mind the breed of your dog, its size and age, as all of these will play an important role in selecting just the right equipment.

In the end, the most important tip: have patience. Adopting a dog from a dog adoption shelter in Dubai will be a rewarding experience, but it will take some time for the dog to be trained and settle down into his new family.

Bringing a furry family member into your home from pet adoption shelter in Dubai can be a fun and exciting event. However, ensuring a smooth transition for the pet and your family takes some preparation and work. Here are some tips about how to go about pet adoption in Dubai from animal shelters.  Before you bring your new friend home, try to think of this: it is possible that your new family member had undergone a lot of stress. The new cat or a dog came to the dog or cat adoption shelter as a stray, or their family abandoned them.
