When buying a dog, even if you get one of the best breeds, there is a minimum of six-month adjustment period for both the human and the dog. It is true, of course, that each breed has certain characteristics that can be a fit to different pet parent temperaments. However, it is also true that each breed comes with a host of genetic diseases and possible idiosyncrasies. Overall, I don’t want to buy a dog because I don\u2019t want to contribute to the exploitation of dogs by puppy mills. This also applies to getting a dog from a “breeder who loves dogs” since again this would take the spot of a stray who could find a home.<\/p>

I believe that adopting a stray is for conscious people who are looking for a new member of their family and not a trophy. There is also such a great satisfaction in watching these creatures transform from being these poor, scared souls to spoiled and happy dogs. In addition, strays are not prone to poor health. We had adopted a dog with leishmaniasis, and he was the bravest and most dignified creature I have ever met. If he had been adopted earlier and received treatment on time, he would be alive now.<\/p>

Once you open the \u201cadoption door\u201d there is no going back to looking for purebreds, no matter how beautiful and adorable these dogs are.<\/p>

I also feel responsible for setting a good example for the two young children I\u2019m raising.<\/p>
