It isn’t recommended for people to give puppies as presents – many later end up in shelters. But for those who are wanting and willing to care for a new family member, a dog can be the best gift ever. The reactions of the people in these videos are priceless. Just remember, don’t shop – adopt. Big dogs might not fit into boxes, but they sure look cute wearing a bow.
Puppies are adorable, but they are a lot of work. There are many adult and senior dogs who are already well-trained, and are just waiting in scary, lonely kennels for someone to bring them home again.
As a past unwanted, disabled shelter rescue, I would also urge people to opt for a “seasoned” adult from a shelter. They’ve seen the bad side of life and are MUCH more appreciative of those who open their hearts and homes to them.
Adopt til you drop!!
