How to convince my parents to adopt another dog?

My next door neighbors these puppies over and my parents love them but we already have a dog and they don't want another one. My sister and I both really like this one puppy but we don't know what to do to adopt it. Its an adoption so it either cant cost alot or nothing at all. Not too sure. The other thing is that its almost winter up here and they don't want to train a puppy in the winter but he will be adopted within a month. ThanksHow to convince my parents to adopt another dog?
If your thinking of getting another dog, consider the opposite sex. 2 girls and 2 boys tend to fight. But bring up the subject that maybe your dog needs a friend when he's home aloneHow to convince my parents to adopt another dog?
usually to adopt a dog its about $50-100 so it shouldnt be much money. and to convince your parent you should keep your grades up and makesure you always keep your room clean. Just dont do the thing that they get annoyed with and do the things that theyre always bugging you to do. If you do all of this and then ask they should say yes. but if they dont be mature about it and dont beg. they may see that you are mature enough to take care of another dog and allow you to get another 1. hope this can help you!
Make sure to tell them your responsible and maybe raise some money to help feed the dog and buy some supplies for it and do your research on the dogs to make sure their right for you and don't keep bugging your parents about it trust me THAT WON'T WORK lol and you should make sure your room is clean and do things around the house without your parents asking you to do so.Hope this helps :)
puppies are a lot of work.. it also takes longer than a month to train a puppy. If you get a puppy now, you WILL be doing housebreaking in the winter.. no one wants to go out in the freezing cold every hour or so to take the pup out to pee!
Honestly, hun, you can't just convince them to get a dog if they don't want one. It is their house and they will be the ones taking care of it most likely. And winter is a *very* bad time to get a new puppy. You need to walk the dog around the clock. Who will walk it when you are in school? Do both of your parents work?





Don't get me wrong, I love animals! I have a dog and cat of my own and plan to get another dog soon. I actually plan to get a puppy. But I'm an adult and I am financially capable of having a puppy and I have the time to take care of the puppy. I will be rescuing it in the summer and, since I teach, I will be home to care for it and train it.





The initial adoption fee is nothing compared to the long term cost. Yes, you fell in love with the puppy. I have been there many times. But you need to realize that it's just not the right time to get another dog. Don't badger your parents about it. Appreciate the dog you have now and get another dog when the time is right. The economy is in the tank right now so many people cannot afford the cost of having many pets. Many, many people have had to take their pets to the pound because they can't afford them. Be grateful that you have a pet that is loved and taken care of now. Could you imagine having to give him/her up and never see her again?





I do know how you feel (I have been in your exact situation). I know you'll be upset reading this, but it's reality. The puppy will find a caring, loving home. He doesn't deserve to be in a home where all members of the family (your parents) aren't excited to have him.
