The Upside To Military Dog Adoption

By Marissa Velazquez


Many may think that owning a military dog is just a pipedream. This is not the case in reality; one can actually own a retired one and have fun with the well trained canine. Instead of buying yourself or your kid a dog or a puppy, you can consider the military dog adoption that even if strict, has its benefits in the long run.

Adoption is quite inexpensive if you compare it to buying and bringing up a puppy. When you adopt, you save the life of that dog and keep them from being euthanized. Observing the traits of an adult dog is much easier compared to that of a puppy as they have developed fully. You may get a sweet looking puppy only for it to develop into a dog with very queer characteristics.

A military dog has been thoroughly trained so the new owner will not have to take it through any house training or even chewing training. They also go along well with children due to their restraint training. This is very important since safety of our kids is paramount. Some dogs may be hyperactive but retired military dogs have this trait well under control.

In general, the entire process is much cheaper compared to buying a puppy and raising it. You don't have to incur enormous veterinary cost associated with raising a dog. For those who have checked the prices of good quality dogs like the ones in military, many cannot afford them.

When you adopt a military dog it will receive some support all through its life. These may include medical consultations and even personalized consultations in case it has some specific behavioral problems. The veterinary services they get come at special rates compared to what the vets charge out there. The adopted dogs have a chance to participate in social events together with their adopted owners.

When one considers breeding new dogs to adopting the already bred ones, it is much better to adopt. This prevents overpopulation of dogs and in turn minimizes the cruelty dogs go through when they have to be killed to control their population. When all factors are considered, adopting a dog is best.

Since the year 2000 when a law was passed to permit adopting military dogs, so many have benefited by getting new homes. The process is straight to the point and straight forward and need not be feared. As long as you prove you can take care of the dog well like it has been in the army then you have good chances. Past experience with special dogs like those of the police and rescue will put you on top f the adoption list.

In the process of military dog adoption, one has to agree not to put any blame on the government in case the dog causes any harm after being adopted. And since these dogs at times are aggressive due to past experiences, one has to be ready to deal with that. In general, these dogs are way better than regular dogs in terms of discipline.
