Before adopting a dog, you should think very carefully, and not just the responsibility you will have to raise the animal. You should also be aware that you will have to shell out money so that your pet is up to date with the law. These are the first legal requirements:

• Vaccines. From the first month of life, an animal must have the first vaccine. The veterinarian will give the following guidelines on the 3 months, 6 months, annual and some special vaccines.
• Microchip. With the first vaccine, approximately, would happen the application of the microchip. It is a locator that will be very useful if the animal gets lost. It will let the authorities know of its existence. Not only is it legal and mandatory in some countries, it will also protect both you and your friend.

• Muzzle. All those dogs considered aggressive breeds, such as pitbull or rotweiller, must be muzzled whenever they go out in some countries. If you do not comply with this rule, if your dog harms a person or animal, you would be in serious trouble.
• Animal care.  Pet care laws protect and support pets with the intention of preventing them from being abandoned or mistreated. Leaving an animal in the sun, in a car, without sufficient hygiene or hungry, for example, is considered abuse and can also cause problems with the law.

• Collect your feces. Whenever you take him for a walk, you will have to take a bag and a bottle of water to collect your pet’s needs. The water will help to avoid the strong odors of pee. If you leave your pet’s dirt uncollected and a policeman or a neighbor reports him, he would be in trouble.

So be responsible, think before you act and then decide yes or no. If the decision was to adopt, we are sure that you will never regret it.
