re: Dog Thread - Thinking About Adopting Soon

Adoption is a great thing to do. Pretty much saving a dog's life in some cases.
I've adopted twice and turned out well for both. One was a German and the most recent was a Lab... I don't regret neither.
Now if you are going to adopt, Don't just pick any breed because it looks nice or has a Sad backstory.
When adopting you should know what you're looking for in a dog & what you must do to keep up with it. Once it's home it's pretty much like another child in the household. Mine definitely are.
Will the dog live inside or outside?
Looking for a puppy or a older dog?
Have any kids or company around often?
Those are few questions you should answer before adopting and probably impact your choice of dog you want.
Please, I repeat please, don't get a dog you won't be able to control, or a dog that only you can control and no one else in the household can. Good luck with whatever you choose. Don't be the guy we read about on TD that adopted a pit, it attacked someone and says "it was a good dog, never had any problems." We get enough of that

Adopted Abbey Ale from the last chance. She is mutt. Super sweet and so glad she is part our family.

no worries about adopting a pit. Apartment won't allow aggressive breeds. Ideally I'd like a 6 month or older border collie that I can train to get me beer from the fridge.

Try looking into a breed specific rescue organization.
I have 3 German Shorthaired pointers, one of which came from a rescue organization, and he is an awesome dog.
Good luck!

the best dogs to get IMO
didnt adopt mine, but my sister basically rescued her. its like they know what you did for them and it makes them extra loyal/loving.
there is a place in baton rouge that has some awesome looking pups up for adoption

We adopted the best little dog from lafayette animal aid. We filled out an extensive questionnaire and I think they matched us with her perfectly.
We did a DNA test on her and she's a mix of white highland terrier, Japanese chin, welsh corgi, and Rottweiler. She's about 20 lbs and has the best personality.
I highly recommend adoption. If you can, go visit a shelter and spend time with the dogs. I love how well they matched us with her on how we answered the questionnaire. We've had her for almost a year now.

We adopted ours Feb of last year from a rescue. He's a yellow Lab/German Shepherd mix and he's the best dog I've ever had. He was 12 weeks old when we got him, whoever had him had abandoned the whole litter.
