FAQs

Why is it hard to adopt a dog in Massachusetts? ›

Massachusetts law makers have made it a law that rescue dogs/puppies cannot be adopted by MA residents unless the dog/puppy is quarantined for 48hrs in one of the few special facilities that are approved by the state.

See Details ›

Why is adopting a puppy so expensive? ›

Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animal while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee.

Can I adopt a dog from RI if I live in MA? ›

If you are a resident of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and interested in adopting a dog from a Rescue Group outside the State, you need to be aware that your adoptive dog is required to be placed in a state approved quarantine facility for a period of 48 hrs prior to going to your residence.

What is the youngest you should adopt a puppy? ›

In general, however, the best age to adopt a puppy is eight to ten weeks. This will give your puppy plenty of time to work through the developmental stages that take place while the puppy is still with its mother. It also allows you to make sure you're complying with any laws that might pertain to your area.

What happens if nobody adopts a dog? ›

If your dog doesn't get adopted within its 72 hours and the shelter is full, it will be destroyed. If the shelter isn't full and your dog is good enough, and of a desirable enough breed, it may get a stay of execution, though not for long.

What happens if a dog can't get adopted? ›

Adoptable animals are generally held and placed with a new family; animals that are too sick, old, or unsociable to be adopted are euthanized. Once a shelter gains title to the animal, it can do with the animal as it sees fit, and its decision will be upheld by courts as long as the shelter complied with state law.

Is it better to adopt one or two puppies? ›

The biggest concern that most professional dog trainers and behaviorists have with adopting two puppies is the fact that they almost always tend to bond very closely to each other to the exclusion of a meaningful relationship with the humans in the home. This phenomenon is known as Littermate Syndrome.

Why do people buy puppies instead of adopting? ›

When people buy dogs rather than adopt, it's usually because they have a particular breed in mind, or because they want to buy a puppy. It's possible to find puppies at rescue shelters, but most dogs get sent there as young adults because families can't handle them.

Why is it better to adopt a pet from a shelter? ›

Overburdened shelters take in millions of stray, abused and lost animals every year, and by adopting an animal, you're making room for others. Not only are you giving more animals a second chance, but the cost of your adoption goes directly towards helping those shelters better care for the animals they take in!

What is the easiest state to adopt a dog? ›

South Dakota has among the fewest regulations around animal adoption of any state. There are no state laws determining how long a found animal must be held by a shelter before being adopted out, nor are there laws regulating how old a young animal must be before adoption.

Should I adopt a dog if I live alone? ›

Dogs are great companions that can make living alone less lonely. Adopting is also a great way to take on more responsibility because you will no longer be making decisions for only yourself. Organize your belongings and create a schedule for the two of you.

Why are rescue dogs so hard to get? ›
