Purchase a puppy? Or is adoption the option ...
|
When it comes time to add a canine companion to your family where will you go to look for the perfect pooch? Do you feel passionately about rescue or do you prefer to purchase a dog from a breeder? Can you see yourself picking up that pup you spotted in a pet store or would you rather look for a dog in the newspaper classifieds or online? Since you're reading this on the Marin Humane Society's Web site chances are you are aware of the adoption option, but how strongly do you feel about adoption? What path will you take when it comes time to look for your new best friend?

I'm happy to buy a dog from a pet store. It's a quick and easy way to get a dog.

I would only adopt from a shelter or rescue group. There are too many homeless pets. Shelters have wonderful dogs to choose from.

I want to determine the temperment of a dog and I'm interested in a specific breed, so I would only go through a reputable breeder.

I plan on breeding my current dog because I want one of his/her puppies.

I would adopt a dog from a shelter or rescue group, but I don't see anything wrong with buying a dog from a reputable breeder.
