I personally would adopt a puppy. If you already have dogs then it might be easier to introduce them to a puppy then a dog. Also, having a puppy allows them to grow up with the family. On the other hand, everyone likes puppies, getting a dog would be something that not many people would be willing to do. Either one would be a very nice thing to do.

Personally I would adopt an older dog if I were looking for another dog. I'd spend considerable time at the animal shelter getting to know the dogs & when I was sure that the one I liked had a nice, easy-going temperment, that would be my new dog. With a little patience even older dogs can be re-housebroken & trained, as long as they are gentle & would be good with my children I'd rather give an older dog a second chance. Besides, I don't have the energy for a puppy anymore lol

i would adopt. all the puppies deserve a home, but the adopted ones were probably strays or whatever and u would be giving them another chance. plus they are young and they will live long...good luck with ur choice=)

Better adopt a puppy. First because it won't cost you any money (if it's like in my country), second it's better when you watch it grow and teach it on tricks and third you're helping out the poor guy find a family that will love it.
