When Is It Right To Get A New Puppy?

Just do it.Love it no matter what the personality.You'll always miss the one that's gone.

I am so sorry 4 your loss. having lost several old friends over the past few years i know how u feel. i keep 6 or more dogs, numerous cats, at ant given time, but there is always that special one. When i lost my old dog in 2004, he left a hole. sure my girls were there, but something was missing. I got the current love of my life as an early b-day gift about 18 months after Gordon passed.I wasn't looking for a new friend, but he needed me and it felt right. Tou will know when you are ready. The right dog will let you know when it is time. Hooka turns 7 this year and can't imagine ever not having him...

i know it seems a weird thing to say but i had a cat for 17 years that passed away i was a cat person though we had dogs growing up i swore though that another cat wasnt the answer i decided on a puppy but there where no puppys avaliblie at the time i wanted i looked and looked the house was too empty so i tried to broaden things there are too many adult dogs without a future or home i looked and looked till one day i had almost given up a german shepherd named lexie was sat all alone in a corner she looked so sad she had been beaten and miss treated as soon as she saw me her tail wagged and she came to live with me she is 2 yrs old i wouldnt be without her yes puppys are fun but i am glad i decided to try give an older dog another cance at life maybe if you look at an older dog too just a though yes its hard work but the love they show wow best feeling ever

Once again Puppies can still be found in Rescue Centres,

Oh trust me..all our cats are rescues and were never kittens in our home---we love that idea but for the dog, my husband really wants a puppy experience and the training rituals etc. I would be just as happy to adopt an older dog or a puppy....

Hi There AudreyStrong,

HamsterLover123 here, So Sorry to read of your Sad Loss, I know what it is Like to loose and sadly have to part with a Much Loved Pet-whether it be a Dog, Hamster, Rabbit etc-I Know what it is Like to easily get so attached to a Pet.

Would you consider adopting a Rescue Dog?-I find I much prefer adopting Pets when and where I can-especially when it comes to adopting Hamsters and Rabbits as Pets.

Although I do have a Small Collie Cross RSPCA Rescue Dog-which gives me so much more satisfaction, enjoyment and peace of mindd Knowing I have helped and given a Good Home to a previously unfortunate Dog who has had a bad time and not much a Gopod Life previously-I would recommend anyone and People in general who Love Animals and want a Pet to "Adopt" instead of Buying.

I personally dont believe, nor see the point in spending a few Hundred Pound/Hundreds of Pounds on any Dog, or for any Pedigree Dog-when People can be helping Animla Rescue Centres who are usually most of the time Over run & inundated alot of the time by Dogs who are abandoned, neglected, Dumped through being Unwanted etc-Take it from me If I were you I would still seriously Consider and seriously think about adopting a previously unwanted Dog which has has some form of Bad time sometime in their Life,

Good Luck and Hope you definetly do make the right decision,

I also find that I have to get another Pet soon after-Not to replace the Previous Pet Loss, but of which I find is a Good and effective way of helping relieve the Loss for you-by carrying on and giving the next and another Pet,Dog a Good Life and a Good Home,

Please do get in touch and keep in touch and let me know How you get on, also remember it should not, nor does not matter What age a Dog is-Does not specifically havem to be a Puppy(as cute as they are) what ever age of Dog and Whatever Dog you choose(even an Older one)-at the end of the day you will be giving an Previously Unfortunate Dog a Good Home and a Good Life-of which Many have never had the experience, nor opportunity of Having, having been given a Good Home and Life before ,

You may get one now. Give a puppy a home :)
