  1. A younger puppy
  2. Two puppies so they keep busy
  3. An older, house-trained dog ✔

Why: Puppies need potty trips every few hours and lots of company. If your home is empty most of the day, Humane World suggests waiting or adopting an older dog that is already house trained.

Huh, didn't know that: Many shelters have adult dogs that already know house manners.
