50 Pics Of Dogs As Puppies And All Grown Up (New Pics)

When it comes to what potential adopters should understand, Ivanka shared, "They should know that, before everything, the dog is a responsibility. An adopter should really think well if in their current lifestyle there is a room for a pet and if yes, what exactly having one will entail. And once again, patience. A lot of people think the dog will immediately love their new life, the moment it steps into their new home. That the dog will immediately trust their adopter and will bond and start playing form the get go. Would you immediately trust a stranger?"

"If you have decided to adopt a dog really think it through and chose the dog with temperament and character that will fit best your lifestyle in order to have a true best friend," Ivanka added. "Have realistic expectations from your adopted dog, be patient with it and show it it can trust you 100%. Then and only then you will really have a true, joyful, obedient and forever four-legged best friend. And trust me, every single effort is so worth it!"
