<h1>Practical Advice for Adopting a Dog</h1>

<p>If you are thinking of adding a dog to your family, consider
adopting your new best friend from an animal shelter or humane
society. You'll not only get a good feeling from helping a homeless
pet, you'll get an outstanding companion. Many fantastic dogs end
up in shelters through life circumstances that have happened with
their original owners, and the staff at these organizations
carefully check the animals for sound health and good temperament.
In addition, some shelter animals have had the benefit of training
to develop good manners while they've been waiting for a new
home.</p>
<p>You can find just about any age, size and breed of dog at an
animal shelter. From entire litters of puppies, to young dogs, to
older housebroken dogs too.</p>
<p>When a new dog first arrives, shelter staff carefully evaluate
it for physical and behavioral soundness. They make note of quirks,
and work with specialists to eliminate negative behaviors. Most
shelters even have adoption counselors who interview potential
adopters to understand their needs and lifestyle so they can make
the perfect match.</p>
<p>Bringing your newly adopted dog home is exciting for you, but
may be a little overwhelming for her. Keep her on a leash as you
take her from room to room, giving her plenty of opportunity to
sniff. It's a good idea to make your first stop on this tour a stop
at the dog's bathroom area. The excitement of a car ride and coming
to a new place can give her the need to empty her bowels or
bladder.</p>
<p>It's important to understand that Dogs are creatures of habit.
So the sooner you establish a firm routine, the more comfortable
your new dog will become in her new home. Always feed her in the
same spot and at about the same time each morning. You'll find she
grows to anticipate "what comes next." For example, if you always
feed her after you bring in the newspaper, you'll notice she
becomes very excited when you open the door to step outside. Dogs
catch on quickly.</p>
