pet adoption question?

[spedrunner]

I want to adopt another doxie. Lily will be thrilled, she loves other dogs andd will have  a friend

The thing is there are a few I am interested in. I want to see how Lily gets along with them and choose mostly by the best fit that way, BUT

How do I tell them NO? I feel bad, but I can only adopt one right now

Is this ok? Are they used to being turned down after a meet?

They would rather you meet a lot and pick the one who fits into your family and life vs just taking whatever dog because you are scared to say no.

So be confident in your no and knowing that you will eventually give one dog a home

Not only is it ok, it should be encouraged.  I've never been allowed to adopt from a shelter until the potential new animal meets the already existing ones.

Most rescues will want to make sure your dog gets along with the new one. They encourage you to keep looking till you find the right fit.

Yes, it's ok to tell them you are looking at other pups. They should appreciate that you're looking for the right dog for your family and not just OMGCHRISTMASPUPPY!
