There are many ways in which a pet finds its way into a family’s home, and each method has its pluses and minuses. The goal is to find which works best for the people and the pet.

Before falling in love with a certain dog or breed, it’s vitally important to do some homework to determine temperaments and behavioral patterns and to consider the home environment. Labradors and other large breeds need a lot more room to run and play than a toy poodle or other small dog that might be a good fit for a compact apartment environment.
