3 Reasons Why You Should Consider Adopting Your Next Dog

All of my animal lovers out there, specifically dog lovers, I encourage you all to consider adoption the next time you are thinking about extending your family. My family and I recently adopted our new dog Bernie, and he has changed our lives for the better. There are three main reasons why you should consider adoption. Trust me. Give it a try, and you will not regret it. To learn more about the love of my life, Bernie, make sure to check out my latest video at theodysseyonline.com/@carringtonnovovids.

1. Giving a life the opportunity to begin living

It is so rewarding to give a dog the love and home they deserve. No life deserves to be deserted, homeless, alone, etc. The warmth you will feel from supplying a dog that has had a rough life, that doesn’t even understand the concept of love or family, is truly one of a kind. There is no better feeling than watching a dog lay on a bed, receive full meals and love for the first time. Knowing that you are the one that gave your newly adopted dog a better life will fill you with so much joy.

2. Form an unbreakable bond

The bond you will create with an adopted dog is one of a kind. The dog that you adopt will immediately become extremely attached to you because they know that you are the one that saved them, that gave them a chance to live a happy life. You will feel extremely attached to your dog as well because you will immediately form a strong, deep love for your dog due to watching your dog become happy, confident and comfortable. You will automatically form a special bond with your newly adopted dog because of what you have done for their life and what they have done for yours.

3. Watch your dog’s journey to happiness

The best thing about adopting a dog is watching their change in personality and temperament from the first day you adopt them to a few months later. Some dogs that go up for adoption have had horrible lives, some were abandoned or abused. This results in their personality when you first meet them, some are timid and shy. It is amazing how adoption can turn the dog’s entire personality around, they will begin to be social, wag their tale, play, and show more affection. Adopted dogs will eventually become confident and happy, which allows dogs to begin living their lives without fear. It is amazing to watch and your dog’s transition into happiness will be something you will always hold near and dear to your heart.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
