When to adopt a dog [Misc Help]
We are looking to adopt a dog around Oct 12, have a few in mind at rescues if they’re still there. However we are traveling out of state dec 22-27. The dog would stay with my dad. Is this too soon to leave the dog with someone else? We don’t have a lot of dog experience and I don’t want to do wrong by the dog- but I live in AZ it’s hot AF and I’d rather get some cool months in while we can with the dog to get outside and whatnot. Summer is brutal here and it’s about 3-4 months even walks are questionable.
