So, you want to adopt a dog, a lifelong friend who will steal your food and fill your gallery.As a dog sister, trust me, this will be one of the best decisions you will ever make.And oh, I could never describe the joy of owning a dog. The four paws will follow you and love you like no other being. Every morning you wake up and wonder how these fur balls are real!However, they are a life commitment, a vow you make wholeheartedly to nurture them, love them, and especially, never leave them.So, before moving on to how to find puppies for sale in Bangalore, try to answer these questions.<img src="https://images.happypet.care/images/43167/pup-buying-checklist.webp">Do you really want a dog? - I know this question may trigger you, but they are high maintenance and need lots of care and time, like toddlers. Do you think you are ready for that kind of commitment? If yes, you are good to go.Have your family members said “Okay” to a dog? - You can't raise them alone. You need support and understanding from your family.Little story: My mom first said no to my dog “Choco”. Now, I was demoted as his sister, and my mom became his mom. Funny part is, now she can’t live half a day without him.Do you have the financial capacity to raise them? - Because they need regular veterinary check-ups, grooming, and proper nutrition.Can you spend time with them? - Dogs need socializing and a lot of playtime. So, you need to spend at least 1 hour with them.Can you lie to your boss and take sick leave? - When dogs become sick, they need your entire attention and care. So, get ready to cancel some important plans.If you said yes to these questions with a big, happy smile, then let's move on to the next step.<h2>How To Choose A Breed of Puppy To Adopt or Buy?&nbsp;</h2>I never like the idea of comparing one dog to another. Still, to have a good relationship with your dog, you need to compare and select what’s best for you.<img src="https://images.happypet.care/editorImages/blog/file_1748864917475.webp">Before selecting the dog breeds, consider your· &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Environment - Is it an apartment or a separate home with a garden?· &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Maintenance - Fur or less fur?· &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Size - Do you want to carry them or walk them?· &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Climatic conditions - Living in a cold climate or a hot one?For example, the fluffy husky you saw on Instagram? They will be happy in Europe or the Atlantic. But in a hot climate like India, they will suffer. Don’t buy them unless you have a full air-conditioned home.<h3>Are you still confused about Choose The Right Pup?</h3>In Happypet, we have information about more than 232 dog breeds, including all the essential details you need, like size, monthly expenses, nutrition, ideal climate, etc.&nbsp; Check out<a href="https://www.happypet.care/dog-breeds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;"> </a><a href="https://www.happypet.care/dog-breeds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">our dog breeds list.</a>We know all this information might overwhelm you.

P.S. – I got a Golden retriever in the quiz and, surprisingly, my dog is an Indie-retriever.<h2>Buy or Adopt a Puppy in Bangalore - What Experts Suggest?</h2>So, now you have decided on the puppy's breed. The next question is, where to find cute little puppies for sale in Bangalore or other cities?You have two options.&nbsp;Either adopt a puppy from an animal shelter or buy one from a reputable breeder. Let me explain to you about both.<h3>1. Find puppies or Dogs in Dog Shelters</h3>Every year, many dogs are abused and abandoned by their families. They are roaming on the street and are hurt both mentally and physically. Some good NGOs and Animal shelters are taking many initiatives to rescue and shelter them. But all the rescued animals deserve a second chance to live in a warm and loving home.It’s always a good revolutionary thing if you decide to adopt a dog from a shelter. Plus, you will leave room for another dog in the shelter.However, make sure they are vaccinated and ready to socialize with others.Besides, you might not have a chance to choose your favourite puppy breed.If you are willing to adopt, visit NGOs, rescue centers, or local animal shelters in your city. To learn more about animal shelters in your city, check out our<a href="https://www.happypet.care/shelters-rescues" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;"> list of animal shelter</a>sPS: We adopted our dog (then, a puppy) from a kind neighbour who is very picky about selecting a home for his puppies. Even after a year, he still enquires about our Choco.<h3>2. Buying a puppy in Bangalore</h3>If you want to find a specific breed of puppy, then buy from a reputable breeder. Be careful of the Puppy mill owners who disguise themselves as certified breeders. But all they do is just exploit dogs for the sake of money.To find reputable breeders, always visit their place, see the puppy’s mother, and the dog’s living conditions. Ask whether they have <a href="https://kennelclubofindia.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">KCI</a> (Kennel Club of India) registration, which indicates they are maintaining purebred practices.If the dog isn’t registered under KCI. They might be prone to illness.<h2>Visit The Right Breeders or Shelters to Find Puppies in Bangalore</h2><img src="https://images.happypet.care/editorImages/blog/file_1748864938204.webp">So, now you are all set to choose your puppy from the shelter. That will be an exciting day for sure. Don’t be nervous and maintain a calm posture. Try to interact with all the puppies.I am sure the right one will choose you, or a dog fairy will come near your ears and whisper, “This is the one.”Some Animal shelters may ask about why you want to adopt a dog and will inquire about your lifestyle. If they don’t find you as a trustworthy person, they might reject you.And in your end, check the puppy’s eyes, they should be white, and their bottoms should be dry. If they show any kind of illness, select another one.But don’t worry, this is just one of the “what if” situations.<h2>Ask These Questions About The Pup Before Taking Home</h2>After choosing your dog, ask all the questions you have about your puppy. Don’t hold back. Just clear all the doubts you have.<h3>Here are some suggested questions:</h3><ul><li>Ask about their personality.</li><li>Are they vaccinated?</li><li>What’s their nutrition requirement?</li><li>What’s their vaccination chart?</li><li>What kind of common diseases affect this breed?</li></ul><h3>What is The Dog Adoption Procedure in Bangalore?</h3>To adopt a puppy in Bangalore, you might need to fill out an adoption form and submit your proof of Identification to the shelters or NGOs.Some shelter workers might visit your home to check your identity and home condition. In your end, pay the adoption fees and collect your puppy’s medical history documents.<h2>How to Get Ready to Welcome a New Puppy?</h2>This is the most exciting phase: Preparing your home for the puppy.Puppies explore the world with their mouths. So, make sure you don’t leave any harmful or important things on the floor or within their reach.Buy a leash, Belt, poop bag, puppy’s beds, bowls for food and water, dog food, shampoo, nail cutter, dog safe toys and the list goes on.I know it’s a tiring list, but the reward will be worth it.On the day of picking them from shelter, carry a water bottle, poop bag and a carrier.<h2>Register Newly Bought Puppy with Bangalore’s Local Authority</h2>It’s mandatory to register your dog with the government. Go to the BBMP or municipality office near your home, fill out the registration form, and pay the registration fees.Next, book an appointment with a veterinarian for a health checkup, and always keep in touch with the animal shelter or breeder.<h2>Become a Happy Pet Parent of a Puppy in Bangalore!</h2>Sudden environmental change may give stress to your puppy, so be patient with them. Give the puppy enough time to adjust to your home.When Choco first came to my home, most nights he slept in my lap, and I never got a proper sleep, yet they were the best memories I could ever ask for.Loving someone means accepting all of their good and bad sides, so this will be a long journey. Tighten your seat belts.And congrats! You are a dog parent now!PS. The puppy stage is very short, so take lots of photos and admire the puppy every day.
