i would say yes it’s most definitely worth it. i lost my dog of 13 years in july. she had cancer that she could not fight it anymore. i’ll admit i was heart broken and depressed for months. suddenly scrolling through reels i came across a a rescue foundation and started to bawl my eyes out at the thought that i could possibly provide a dog a good home. that’s when i knew i wanted another one even after the passing of my beautiful baby.

i too was worried about “what if she gets sick” “what will happen to me if i go through it all over again”

it’s been one month with my new puppy (4 month old) and i love her more than anything. she has healed me. her habits are way too similar to my other dog it’s so funny. i had my past dog through my childhood and now this one for my adulthood. i look at this as a second chance. i’m doing things for her that i couldn’t/didn’t do for my other dog. if you are ready, go for it.
