My daughter has been asking for a puppy for a couple months now. Thinking about getting her one for Easter. I need help in finding exactly what I want to get her. First of all, I'm allergic to dogs...so need something with short hair that won't make me sneeze all the time. Second...want something small. If anyone out there can help me...I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
How old is your daughter? Some of the smaller breeds can be a bit snappy with young children. My Chihuahua mix does not like most children and some groups would not have adopted her to me if I have children under 12.
You may want to consider adopting a dog that is over 2 years. It may be easier on your furniture, carpet and nerves! Most animals that come from local rescues have been fostered in people's homes and they know the tempermant of the dog or cat. They usually know how socialized the animal is with ther animals and children.
Many animals end up in shelters because people didn't choose the right pet for their environment. Try to find a dog that will fit in with your lifestyle and home situation.
Please PM me if you want any info on local groups or shelters and I will try to hook you up!
