Common Questions About Pet Adoption. Q: Although there are literally millions of pets in shelters, pounds and other ‘temporary housing’, many pet-owners-to-be don’t think about pet adoption when they’re looking for their new four-legged friend.

A new puppy’s boundless energy will require some serious puppy chow as soon as they arrive at their new home. However, because a new puppy’s nutritional needs are very different from an adult dog’s, they may need some extra special care in their feeding. All types of puppy chow are not equal. Do Check the Labels.

They can say that the puppy was needing to be re-homed, therefore it's like adopting from a rescue group. But I didn't campaign for a presidential greyhound for exactly the same reason Obama's decision was disappointing: it glorifies pure breed dogs.

A handful Animal Person readers since May of 2006, when I started this then-daily blog, have asked me if I've read Joan Dunayer. And now that I've read Animal Equality and begun Speciesism , I think I know why. Dunayer devotes a chapter each to the language used in hunting, zoos, "marine parks," vivisection and "animal agriculture."

A bored puppy is an unhappy puppy, and possibly a destructive puppy. Dogs are intelligent animals. Toys which challenge your puppy to figure something out are a great way to stave off boredom, and they help to develop your puppy’s mind. As a result, even games of catch give your puppy more to think about.

Since their initial domestication, dogs have been fed scraps from their owners until commercial pet food became readily available in the 1940’s. However choosing what food to feed your pet is a major decision especially as there are different types of food specifically designed for different breeds and lifestyles.

We hear a lot about healthy diets, both for people and for pets. Because we choose the food for our pets, it’s important for us to understand which nutrients are essential to health. Protein helps support lean muscle tissue for adult pets, and for puppies and kittens, protein nourishes growing muscle tissue.

Choosing to adopt a dog rather than get one at the pet store (or what some like to refer to as “puppy mill”) is a beautiful thing—essentially you are saving a poor pup from euthanasia and you’re providing a an animal with a good home. Note: if your pet is on this list, no amount of pet deposit will compensate.

Here are a few great tips for future and current pet owners. The Shift: Instead of buying your new friend from a pet store or breeder, adopt one from a shelter. Save $$: Up to $500 or more depending on animal and breed. Good for You: Adopting an orphaned animal keeps it from having to be euthanized. Pets are the same way.
