When adopting or buying a dog, investigate the source, care conditions, health information, and opportunity to meet or assess the individual dog.
Ask clear questions, review records, and avoid pressure to pay before you can evaluate the arrangement. Work with an appropriate shelter, breeder, veterinarian, or trainer on the needs of a possible service-dog candidate.
