GUIDE
How to Get a Dog
Should you get a puppy or adult dog? Adopt or shop? Visit your local shelter or a more specific rescue? Foster first or sign an adoption contract right away? Here's what to know.
How to responsibly get a dog is such a huge and messy topic. We worked hard to condense complex info into an accessible guide that's easy to scan (but still honors the nuance).

When I rescued my first dog, I had no idea what I was in for. I wish this guide had been around then! Now that I’m looking to expand my fur family, this guide has given me all the tools I need to make sure I make the best decision when choosing the next pup to welcome into my family.
