Getting another dog is a huge responsibility, but at the same time it can be one of the best decisions you will ever make. This is especially the case if you find a dog that is a great fit for your family! If you think you're ready read these signs to see if it's time to enjoy the many walks, licks, and love you'll receive from a new pet.

7. Everyone Is On Board

Your spouse, children, roommates, and other animals should all be excited and ready to expand your household.

6. Landlord Approved

Make sure you are familiar with your lease details, and that your landlord is on board with your decision before adding another dog to your household.

5. You Have The Space

Two dogs may make traveling a bit harder. You need two leashes, two possible crates, and a car big enough for two dogs, depending on their size.

4. You Can Afford One

Two dogs lead to twice the fun, and twice the stuff! Make sure you can financially handle the responsibility of another dog before adopting.

3. Your Dog Wants a Friend

You know your pup better than anyone, and you should realistically evaluate whether or not a second dog would blend well with your current family.

2. You Have The Time

Two dogs require twice the attention. You will need to carve out separate one-on-one time with each dog and schedule separate training sessions.

1. Your Dog Is Well Trained

If your dog has good manners and is well trained, that means you had the time to spend with him to teach him how to behave, which is a good sign!

So are you ready to add a furry friend to your new home? If you're ready for the responsibility, time and love you're willing to give to a new furry friend, this may be an excellent decision. After reading these additional signs from The Animal Rescue Site and it's time to get another dog, look forward to all of the love and barks you're about to receive!
