So, you want to adopt a Polish Lowland Sheepdog, huh? Great idea! Want to hear an even better idea?
Rescue an adult Polish Lowland Sheepdog. No pooch is too old for puppy love and puppies are only puppies for a few
months after all, right? Oh, you have your heart set on a cute little Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppy? Have you been
looking at Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppies for sale, checking out Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppy breeders? OK, here's
some food for thought if you have your heart set on a puppy, and a few reasons why adopting an adult might be your
better option:
What It Takes to Housebreak a Puppy
Before you adopt a Polish Lowland Sheepdog, consider how much time your new family member will spend alone. Remember,
a puppy requires constant attention. The key to successful housebreaking is consistency; preventing "accidents" is key.
Once a puppy soils the carpeting, it becomes much more difficult to train them out of that behavior. Here's a good rule
of thumb to consider: a puppy can hold his bladder just one hour for every month they've been alive. For instance, a 3-
month-old puppy will need to empty his bladder every three hours! Before you adopt a Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppy, ask
yourself if you are available to walk your dog several times throughout the day, and if you have the patience and
commitment to wake up and take him out first thing every morning at the same time, and stick to a strict schedule. Of
course, before you can walk him at all, you will need to train him to walk on a leash, which is a project in itself.
On the other hand, an adult dog's bladder is already fully developed. Shelter dogs are often already housetrained and
Polish Lowland Sheepdog rescue groups can tell you if their adult dogs for adoption are housebroken before they go into
your home. You also have the advantage of knowing that your dog is physically able to "hold it" for several hours at a
stretch. In most cases, adult dogs are by far easier to housebreak than puppies. You can teach an old dog new tricks!
Puppy Behavior Sometimes Isn’t Pleasant
Sure, Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppies are super-cute, but simply put, puppies can be adorable, relentless machines of
destruction. Even the most well-behaved puppy will destroy shoes, clothing, paper, remote controls, telephones, leashes,
dog beds, carpeting…anything and everything. More rambunctious pups have been known to obliterate sofas, car seats,
Venetian blinds, electrical cords, door frames…you name it, they can eat it or shred it. And when they're teething, look
out! Cute puppies have very sharp teeth, and they are happy to use your hands, feet, nose, hair, etc, as a chew toy.
Ouch! Needless to say, a teething Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppy and a small child do NOT make good companions! To keep
the puppy from hurting himself, and to prevent the destructive behavior from becoming a bad habit, you will need to
spend every waking moment supervising his every move. Do you have that kind of time?
Many Polish Lowland Sheepdogs in shelters or with rescue groups are already trained and ready to go! Adults have a
much longer attention span than puppies, too, which means they're easier and faster to teach. Adult dogs already have
recognizable personality traits, so you'll be able to select one who is great with children. Many Polish Lowland
Sheepdog rescue groups use foster homes to make sure each Polish Lowland Sheepdogs for adoption is trained to be well-
behaved indoors. Although all dogs need attention and playtime, an adult dog's needs are far less demanding than a
puppy's.
You Won’t Know a Puppy’s Personality for Sometime
With an adult Polish Lowland Sheepdog, what you see is what you get. Their personality is already developed, and
you'll be able to spot the characteristics you're looking for much more easily than with a puppy Polish Lowland
Sheepdog. Shelters and rescue groups are able to assess the personality of each Polish Lowland Sheepdog for adoption,
and carefully match you up with the right dog for your lifestyle. When you adopt a puppy, there is a lot more guesswork
involved.
Adult Polish Lowland Sheepdog Adoption = An Instant Friend for Life
Ask anybody who has adopted an adult dog, and they'll swear their bond with their rescued pal is as deep as they
come. When you open your heart and your home to a dog who needs help, they really do show their appreciation for the
rest of their life! Dogs who have been uprooted from their homes, or have had difficult beginnings are likely to bond
completely and deeply with their new human caretakers who they view as heroes. Polish Lowland Sheepdogs who find
themselves in the shelter or at a rescue group because of a death or other tragedy in their former human family usually
go through a mourning period. Once they are adopted, however, they usually want nothing more than to please their new
hero---YOU! No matter what circumstances brought them to the shelter or rescue group, most Polish Lowland Sheepdogs for
adoption are exceptionally affectionate and attentive pets and extremely loyal companions. But first you have to adopt
one!
Adult Polish Lowland Sheepdog Adoption = Truly Saving a Life
When you adopt an adult dog, you are doing the ultimate good deed. Let's face it: at first a lot of people think they
want to find Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppies for sale, but not everyone is lining up to adopt the great adults! Some
people might have the misconception that Polish Lowland Sheepdogs in shelters have something wrong with them. In fact,
most Polish Lowland Sheepdogs for adoption end up in shelters not because of any problem with pet behavior or health
issues, but because they were dropped off by someone who simply didn't have the time or money to care for the animals.
In some cases pets are lost and never found by their owners. These animals are healthy and very eager to please. Did you
know that every year, approximately 4 million adoptable animals are killed? A staggering 25% of those animals are
purebreds, so you can bet there is a Polish Lowland Sheepdog in need of adoption.
With such a huge overpopulation problem, looking for a Polish Lowland Sheepdog for sale, or Polish Lowland Sheepdog
puppies breeders, sadly contributes to this tragedy. Rescue groups that specialize in adoption work very, very hard to
help adult dogs find good homes. Rescues are almost always made up of a group of volunteers. They often keep Polish
Lowland Sheepdogs for adoption in their own homes while they assess their health and personalities. If a dog needs basic
training, often the rescuer will provide it. If a dog needs medical treatment, many dedicated dog rescuers pay for it
out of their own pocket. These people are incredibly passionate about rescue, and they work tirelessly to make sure
every dog finds a home. Nothing is as rewarding to these heroes as a successful adoption! Please help these healthy
pets, before looking at a Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppies breeder, or a Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppy for sale search

Adoption Means a Healthier Polish Lowland Sheepdog as You’re Pet
Shelters have dogs of all breeds, including purebred Polish Lowland Sheepdogs. These dogs sometimes end up in
shelters because a Polish Lowland Sheepdog breeder, or someone who had Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppies sale was not able
to find a home for all the dogs. These people are sometimes called "backyard" breeders. These are people who make some
easy cash by breeding purebred Polish Lowland Sheepdogs over and over then try to make easy cash by posting Polish
Lowland Sheepdogs puppies for sale in newspaper classified ads. Remember that most of these backyard Polish Lowland
Sheepdog breeders don't know about breeding for favorable health and temperament qualities, and they don't know how to
raise a properly socialized litter. Many of the Polish Lowland Sheepdog breeders wean litters from their mothers way too
soon. Sometimes, a backyard Polish Lowland Sheepdogs puppies breeder turns into small-time puppy mill to increase their
supply so you can find Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppies for sale all the time in order for profits to grow.
What are puppy mills? A puppy mill is basically a purebred puppy factory farm where the puppies are just churned out
as fast as they can in order to have, for example, as many Polish Lowland Sheepdogs for sale as possible. The dogs are
kept in small cages and forced to breed at unhealthy rates… it's all about the money. Female dogs in puppy mills are
made to have several litters per year, which is extremely dangerous and cruel. Usually Polish Lowland Sheepdog breeders
pay little attention to the specific health and genetic diseases due to in-breeding, reluctantly they don’t inform
whoever is looking for a Polish Lowland Sheepdog for sale about this problem. Genetic health testing is almost unheard
of and mass-producing pets for profit is the bottom-line. In the worst puppy mills, horrifying conditions are the norm.
How can you stop puppy mills? There is only one way. Take away their profits. Remember before you look for an a Polish
Lowland Sheepdog sale, or Polish Lowland Sheepdogs for sale keep in mind that adoption is the most humane option!
