​Should I get a second dog?

There are lots of things to consider before you get second dog:

  • Is your dog ok with another dog living in his home?
  • Does he just like his doggie friends at the park?
  • Maybe fostering a dog will help you and your dog test the waters?
  • What are the extra costs of having a second dog?
