Adopting Your Dog From A Shelter? Be Prepared To Answer These Questions (Part 2)
from:1. Do you have any children? The staff needs to know how many children you have and how old they are. A good shelter won't want to place a fragile, shy or easily irritable puppy or dog into a family with very young members, and they'll probably be able to tell you whether any of their dogs are particularly well-suited to living with children. They also want to be certain that your child-rearing responsibilities won't leave you too exhausted to take care of a dog, and that your little ones understand that they won't be able to pull the new pup's tail or snatch her toys. Explain to the staff members that you've discussed all aspects of dog care with your kids, and you're positive that they're mature and responsible enough to treat a new dog gently and respectfully.
2. Who will bear the main responsibility of caring for the dog? There's one flat-out wrong answer to this question, and you can probably guess what it is. That's right: "the kids!" As we've already discussed, dog care is a duty for adults or mature teenagers, and shelters will be loath to adopt a pup to anyone who doesn't understand that.
Even if your kids are going to play a big part in your dog's upbringing (and there's nothing wrong with that), the shelter needs to know that you will be supervising her and paying for her expenses. When it's time to take your dog to obedience school, one person needs to become her primary educator. If you've already decided who that will be, tell the staff members, and they'll be duly impressed by your forethought.
3. Does anyone in the family have allergies? People are always bringing dogs to adoption facilities with the explanation, "I can't keep her because my kids are allergic." Sometimes it's true; sometimes it's just a handy excuse. But in any case, shelters are careful about adopting dogs to “sneezy” people. If you have family members with dog-fur allergies, tell the staff so, and they can probably help you find a dog with a coat that won't shed too much. And if you've taken steps to alleviate the allergy problem (pills, shots), the shelter will know that you're serious about making the situation work.
