When you adopt you are giving a dog a second chance at a permanent home. This is an amazing gift to the dog and you want to ensure the adoption is successful. It may take a few weeks or months for you both to settle into this new life together.
You adopted a dog and now regret it or at the very least you are having serious doubts about your decision. The good news is that it is a normal reaction for many when they adopt a dog.
If you have never adopted a pet before some of the requirements can be a little confusing and can often put people off. In this post we will break down the adoption contract and the reasons why you should always have one, even if you are rehoming a pet privately.
Dogs are amazing animals and adopting a dog is an exciting time for any family. The bond you can develop with them is definitely one to look forward to. It is usually a great experience for the new owners and gives the dog a second chance at a happy home. But often there are bumps along the way. It can take months or even a year for you and your dog to fully adjust to one another and to the new life routine you have to put in place. Here are the 8 most common issues new owners encounter when adopting a dog and how to avoid them.
While we mainly see dog and cat rescues being promoted it is also possible to adopt a rabbit in Ireland. As of writing there is no dedicated rabbit rescue here but if you are looking to adopt a rabbit contact your local rescue. Some rescues take in all types of animals while others may be rabbit specific. But I have previously adopted a rabbit from a dog rescue so I would contact all rescues in your area if you were looking to get a rabbit.
