Adopting a dog is a serious decision, and a little research can make all the difference for everyone’s well-being.
Nothing warms an animal lover’s heart like an empty shelter – it means pets have been adopted into happy homes, full of love, warmth, and attention. Recent events have led to an encouraging uptick in dog adoptions around the country, but I can’t help but wonder – did they really go to their “furever” homes? Or just their “until things return to normal” homes?
Joanne Rice is a Canine Behavioral Therapist and Master Dog Trainer with Bark Busters Home Dog Training in Greater Tampa Bay, FL. She agreed to chronicle her dog adoption experience as she and her husband adopt a new dog into their family.
Joanne has decided to turn her adoption story into a diary to help other families in an effort to keep these recently fostered and adopted dogs in their "furever" homes long after this current environment has shifted back to a more "normal'" one.
