Join host Michele Forto as she discusses is now the right time to add a puppy to your family on Dog Works Radio.
Bringing home a new puppy is incredibly exciting. Even During the latter stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, at least we can hope, right!…more people than ever are looking to add a dog to their lives as they self-isolate. Many puppy seekers wonder: is now the right time to get a puppy? The answer to that question differs from person to person. Were you prepared to get a puppy before COVID-19? Do you have the financial stability and resources to supply your puppy with quality of life and regular vet appointments? After you return to your normal schedule, are you prepared to continue caring for your dog?
