Man's Best Friend

0 Comments | Post a Comment |

If you’re like me, you grew up owning some type of pet. I grew up in southern Oklahoma, in the country, so we always had dogs. I love ‘em. They can be some of the most loyal friends you’ll ever have. I haven’t owned a dog in a long time so I decided that I’m going to get myself one.

At first, I thought about buying a purebred dog. I knew I could spend hundreds of dollars on this kind of dog but I was still open to the idea. I began to look around Oklahoma City and the more I looked the more I came across websites with tons of dogs that needed to be rescued.

At a rescue you can get a great dog for a fraction of the cost and help save a life. I think purebred dogs are great. If that’s the kind of dog that works for you, go for it but I wanted to adopt. I decided I wanted a black puppy. That was my only requirement. I found a puppy at a local rescue that I’m going to see this week! I’m pretty pumped!

Buying a dog can be become expensive pretty quick. Keep in mind that most dogs live from ten to fifteen years! That’s a lot of time and a lot of cash. Obviously the pup will need food and supplies but where it can get expensive is taking the big guy to the vet. Those visits can get pricey pretty quick with all the necessary vaccinations, checkups, etc.

Another great reason to look for a dog at rescue is that they will take care of lot of these things for you and only charge a small adoption fee. Pretty sweet deal. Saving cash and saving lives! Everybody wins!
