You must keep in mind that adopting a dog is a big responsibility, especially when it comes to dogs in shelters. They have been abandoned at least once, and they need someone responsible and mature enough to care for them, offer regular veterinary check-ups and enough freedom and time to play and learn.

If you fulfill those conditions, keep reading and discover where can you adopt a dog in Barcelona in this AnimalWised article!
