Do I have enough time every day to walk, feed, train, and spend time with a dog?*
Can I afford food, grooming, supplies, regular vet visits, and possible emergency costs?*
Does my housing allow dogs, including the dog’s breed, size, and weight?*
Is my living space suitable for the dog’s energy level and needs?*
Have I researched the dog’s breed, personality, exercise needs, and common behavior traits?*
Am I ready to train the dog patiently, even if there are accidents, barking, chewing, or slow progress?*
Will my schedule allow the dog to avoid being alone for too many hours?*
Does everyone in my household agree with adopting and understand the responsibilities?*
Am I choosing this dog based on compatibility, not only appearance or cuteness?*
Am I ready to give this dog a stable, safe, and loving home even when challenges come up?*
