Sometimes, due to schedules or other reasons, an older puppy or dog will fit into a family's or individuals lifestyle much better than the very young puppy, who will require much more responsibility upfront.  In these cases, or for many other reasons, you may want to consider a rescue dog.  One of the biggest myths we hear about Rescue or Older Dogs is that they will not bond as well with their owners.  This is untrue, Samoyeds will bond with their owners no matter their age...they are a very family oriented breed, who will bond with those who love them.

Here are some reasons you may want to consider the Rescue or Older Samoyed:

• Puppies are a lot of work...Are you prepared for that responsibility?

• Puppies are small & cuddly for only a short amount of time.

• Puppies will want to chew on things while they are teething.

• There will be housebreaking duties, which involve interrupted sleep at night.

• Puppies are not able to hold their bladders or bowels as long during the day if you work.

• If you work too long of hours away from the home maybe you should re-consider getting a dog altogether, unless you can come home during the day to let your puppy or older dog out or if you have someone responsible and dependable who is willing to do so.

• Puppies can be more destructive than the older dog.

• If you have a baby or younger child remember they and your new puppy will involve a great deal of responsibility.  Sometimes the responsibility of both youngsters can be overwhelming.  Something for you to consider PRIOR to getting your puppy.  The latter is sometimes how older puppies end up in rescue (or, older dog-no time anymore for the dog).  The older dog is many times much more settled and less active than a young puppy.

• Remember, a young puppy will live anywhere from 12-15 years most likely.  Where do you anticipate your family being in 12-15 years.

• You will help save a Smile!

These are just some of the reasons, not all, that you may want to consider the older puppy or older dog in Rescue.
