Advantages of Adopting an Adult Dog

• Weight, size, breed mix and coat length are already known
  
  
• Chewing is less of a problem
  
  
• Can tell if dog is a couch potato or very active
  
  
• Adult dogs CAN learn new tricks and have a longer attention span
  
  
• General temperament can be determined: shy, aggressive, dominant or submissive
  
  
• Usually already housebroken and better bladder control
  
  
• Easier for people who work-adult dogs can be left alone longer during the day
  
  
• May already know some basic commands such as sit, shake, stay or come
  
  
• Adult dogs are instant companions ready for hiking, car trips and other things you like to do.
  
  
• Adult dogs let you get a good night's sleep because they're accustomed to human schedules and don't need nighttime feedings, comforting or bathroom breaks.

* Any adopted dog should have supervision during the first couple of weeks to adjust to a new home.
