5 Reasons To Adopt A Dog And Make Him Happy

Here at Minhas Animals we have always been in favor of adopting dogs or other pets. This will be an excellent article in which we will explain the reasons to include an animal in your life and do your best to make it happy, as this will be one of the best decisions of your life. 

There are many people who have repeated the experience after adopting. It is true that it is not easy to find a puppy that you can raise according to your tastes, as usually in shelters and kennels there are other breeds of more adult dogs.

However,  whoever adopts a dog, never regrets.  Once you realize that, despite fears that he is not well trained or that he has a difficult personality, adopting a dog, despite being a little older, will be a unique experience. But why?

Reasons that adopting a dog is a good idea

Help the most needy animals

If you do a little research on the number of cases of abandonment and collection in animal kennels in your country, it is very likely that you will get scared. All over the world there are more and more cases of stray animals because, unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people.

Imagine how these poor helpless animals must feel when they find themselves alone in the world. How sad! Some of the lucky ones are collected in a shelter or a kennel and have the opportunity to find new owners. That’s where you come in.

And you will have one more advantage: these animals, generally, have been mistreated in one way or another and, therefore, when they see your love and affection, they will feel extremely grateful and will do everything to make you happy.

Adopting a dog improves your physical and mental health

Having a dog, as we have said several times, brings physical benefits, as it “forces” us to take it for a walk, to play, to run with it…

But on top of all that,  a dog improves mental health and, if adopted, improves even more. Why are we saying this? Because an adopted dog will be grateful, affectionate, tender and loving, because he will feel indebted to you for showing him that the home he lived in and was mistreated is not all there is to life. This will make you feel important and your self-esteem will increase.

An adopted dog is delivered “legalized”

In most countries, there is a law stating that shelters and kennels must deliver dogs that are adopted already vaccinated, without worms and with a chip. This lets you know that the animal is in perfect health. Plus, you save money and time on the paperwork you’d supposedly have to organize if you were to buy an animal.

a good friend to children

In addition to the exceptional character of an adopted dog being ideal for the little ones in the house, adopting a dog will teach your children a beautiful quality: solidarity.

Your children will learn that “giving brings more happiness than receiving” in providing a home for the disadvantaged. In addition, they will witness a gradual change in the character of the animal, as it is likely that it will arrive a little fearful or even aggressive, but that it will gradually respond to the love received.

This will teach your children a valuable lesson: love is the engine that should move the world, because through it, it is possible to achieve anything.

Opportunities to socialize

It may be difficult for you to start conversations on the street with other people. Having an adopted dog will help you in this, because due to love and gratitude, he will be a loving and sociable dog that will arouse sympathy in all those he meets. This will allow you to chat with other people.

Also, explaining that your dog is adopted can start a conversation with other dog owners who may never have adopted, and you will also be promoting the adoption.

So see the many advantages of adopting a dog! As he offers you so much and is able to improve your life, don’t you think it’s worth doing your best to make him happy? Of course yes!
