I have everything ready to bring my pup home. I have his bed, toys, treats, his crate etc.. and I have a name picked out already.
I will be picking him up from the shelter this Wednesday and I am terrified. This is something that I’ve wanted for so long but yet the nerves of it all are making me feel like I won’t be a good dog mom and should give him the opportunity to go home with someone else.
The shelter does not know what breed he is but based off the pics it looks like he might be a beagle/pit bull mix. I have never owned a dog before and I am also in my early 20s but I have done a bunch of research and I genuinely adore dogs. I know the responsibility and time that goes into raising a puppy and I want this so bad but I’m also terrified of bringing him home and feeling like I made the wrong choice. I don’t want this pup to suffer at all and I want him to have the best life possible.
I’m scared for the first time I see him and I’m scared that I won’t feel a connection but I’m even more scared to fail him.
We’ve all heard the stereotypes about pit bulls and I have also heard that they are a bit harder to train. As a first time dog owner, do you believe that I can successfully raise this puppy? Also how should I prepare and what did you do to make your pup feel comfortable when you brought him home?
