“Seeking Advice to Prepare for Dog Adoption”


Photo by PoPville flickr user DCbmyers

“Dear PoPville,

My partner and I are planning to adopt a dog from a local shelter/rescue agency in a few months. We’re hoping the PoPville (or AdoPtville) community might be able to provide some advice on the best ways to prepare. We both had dogs growing up and dog-sit regularly for friends and family, but this will be our first pet dog as adults.

There are some obvious supplies we’ll need to pick up, but are there good guides on other ways to prepare available? Recommended vets, dog-walkers, pet insurance, etc.?

Any direction, including past posts with similar conversation threads, would be greatly appreciated!”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
