Happy National Puppy Day! Give your pooch an extra big squeeze today and if you’re sans a furry friend, maybe give an extra thought to changing that.
For a little insight into what you’ll be up against, here’s some info on first-year dog moms/dads:

Consider ripping up your carpet and laying down linoleum or wood now to save yourself the headache and back pain of constantly scrubbing accident zones
Don’t have any children? Perfect! Puppies are the best parenting training while simultaneously acting as the best birth control money can buy. You’ll know whether or not you’re ready for human babies once your pup is raised up—that’s for damn sure.
Get ready for your social life to be rocked. Not only will a dog require your physical attention, it’ll be nearly impossible to tear yourself away from their sweet, sweet face.
Here are some precious puppies available for adoption at the Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Center:
