Thinking about getting a dog? Hold that thought.
Too many adoptions fail because people fall for a face or a story without understanding what they’re signing up for. Choosing the wrong dog can lead to frustration, heartbreak, and sometimes surrender.
In this episode, I talk with Pete Campione about how to avoid the biggest mistakes people make when bringing a dog into their lives. Whether you’re adopting, fostering, or buying from a breeder, this conversation will help you make the right decision for you and the dog.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • Why choosing a dog based on looks or pity is a setup for disappointment
  • The kind of research and self-reflection that leads to successful adoptions
  • How structure, routine, and reading a dog’s behavior make all the difference in the first 30 days

If this episode saves even one person from making the wrong choice for the wrong reasons, we’ve done our job. Tune in and help more dogs find homes where they truly belong.
