I'm having trouble sleeping lately. What do I need to know before adopting a dog?

Before adopting a dog, it is important to consider your lifestyle and the amount of time you have to devote to taking care of a pet. You also need to decide whether or not you can provide the necessary resources for your new pet, such as food, exercise, and veterinary care. Additionally, you should assess your home environment to determine if it is suitable for a canine companion. Finally, make sure that you are ready for all aspects of owning a pet, including cleaning up after them, providing training, and making sure they get enough socialization.
