Hey everyone, I’d love some advice from people with experience raising multiple dogs.
My partner and I currently have a 6-month-old husky mix puppy. Through a coincidence of life, we’ve come across another dog — a 7-month-old cattle dog mix who survived parvo and is now looking for a forever family.
We’re seriously considering adopting him, but we want to make sure we’re thinking this through responsibly.
For those who’ve been in a similar situation:
Is adopting a second puppy around this age a good idea?
What are the pros and cons of having two puppies so close in age?
Are there any behavioral or health considerations we should be aware of, especially given the parvo history? Any advice or things you wish you’d known before adopting a second dog?
Thanks in advance!
