When Is The Best Time To Get A Puppy?
No matter when someone chooses to get a puppy, they always bring joy into our lives. Even when it is not our own puppy, there is just something about them that makes you smile when you see one. What a gift from God.
No matter when I have gotten a new puppy, it was always a welcomed addition to my home. I have to say though, that if I had my druthers, I would plan to get a new puppy in late Spring, Summer or early Fall. Living in the Mid-West has made me more aware of the climate when it comes to house breaking a dog. If you live in an area that has bitter winters, this is something for you to think about. When you get a puppy in the winter, it can be nasty getting up in the middle of the night during a snow storm or a below-zero cold snap to take the little one out.
If you are thinking about getting a puppy, think about how nice it is to just hook the leash onto the dog collar and walk out the door. I don’t even mind a spring or summer rain.
That is just my take on the situation. May is the beginning of puppy adoption season and it is coming up fast. So if you are thinking about it, now is the time to start planing. Go out and get a dog collar and leash, some dog toys and puppy toys, pet dishes and puppy food and maybe a dog crate and dog bed.
It is my humble opinion that the best place to get a dog is the humane society. Some humane societies even let you put your name on a list if you want a specific breed or age and they will call you when something comes in that meets your specifications.
