Are you on the lookout for a pet dog? Waiting eagerly to become a pawrent to a lovely furry companion?
Having a pet dog, in our opinion, is probably one of the most enriching experiences one can have. However, far too often, the decision to bring home a dog is done in haste. Emotions overpower our decision making process and the result is an incompatible match between a dog and the human.
Compatible with a dog? Oh yes! A quick visit to an animal shelter will show you the number of dogs that are regularly surrendered/abandoned by their families either because the dog had too much energy, or the dog grew bigger than they imagined, or the dog didn’t like being left alone and wreaked havoc… When these decisions are made in haste, unfortunately it is always the dogs that face the brunt of it. They tend to end up homeless, confused, anxious and add to our country’s existing crisis of homeless animals.
So how do you find your most compatible furry companion? Here’s where we at Be A Petizen come into the picture and our campaign of #PawsForAdoption can help you! All you have to do is PAUSE…
1) PAUSE and think about why you want a dog. Will your answer still hold true 2 years and even 12 years down the line? Having a dog is a long-term commitment and should be treated as an indispensable member of your family.
Yes? Great! On to the next!
2) PAUSE and ask yourself these 3 questions:
a) Do I have the TIME? Time to shower affection, time for daily walks, time to play with the dog?
b) Do I have the FINANCIAL bandwidth? Can I budget for vet visits, vaccinations, nutritious food and even unexpected medical bills?
c) Do I have the MENTAL and EMOTIONAL WILL? Toilet training them, being patient when they chew or break household items, care for them when they are ill?
Yes, yes and yes? Fantastic, now for the last PAUSE…
3) To ensure you find a dog best suited to you and your lifestyle is to know as much as possible about them beforehand!
Head to our page that has dogs for adoption and read through their details. We have partnered with animal shelters to find worthy homes for their loving dogs! Through this partnership, we get all the details of the dogs to help you make an informed decision. We have listed out their basic information as well as details about their Temperament, behaviour, house needs, their ability to stay alone for extended hours, their compatibility with kids and other dogs and much more. Take this last PAUSE with us before you adopt and bring home your very own PAWS through our platform. #PawsForAdoption
Once you have narrowed down on a dog, fill out our short form, and we will give you a call to verify your details and then hand over your details to the shelter that currently houses that dog. The team at the shelter will then connect with you and invite you to meet the dog. If all goes well, you adopt your dog from the shelter, we will send you a link to complete our convenience fee payment and give you goodies for your pet!
Last but not the least, we would like to thank and congratulate you for choosing the ethical and responsible way of bringing home a pet dog – Adoption. Adoption is the only way we can put an end to the illegal and unethical pet breeding industry in India and at the same time tackle the issue of homeless animals in India. Thank you for joining the #AdoptDontShop movement and being a part of the solution with us. Thank you for being a Petizen!
