Is there anything cuter than a puppy? Before you decide to take the plunge into raising a puppy keep in mind the amount of commitment it takes raising a puppy. Puppies are not housetrained, they don`t know that shoes are not chew toys, and they won`t know any of the cool tricks adults dogs know like how to sit or walk on a leash. Puppies need lots of patience, love, supervision, and proper socialization. A great way to bond with a new puppy would be to take a positive reinforcement based puppy class together. If you are up for the adventure of raising a puppy, come down to Anti-Cruelty and meet your new best friend!
