Every puppy is adorable. That’s the easy part.
The hard part — the part most people skip — is asking what that puppy will be like when it grows up.
When expectations don’t match reality, dogs don’t just become inconvenient. They often end up in shelters. And that usually isn’t because they weren’t loved — it’s because the choice was made based on looks instead of lifestyle.
Cute Puppies Turn Into Real Dogs
A puppy’s appearance tells you very little about the adult dog they’ll become.
Love clean homes but chose a Corgi?
Expect nonstop shedding.Fell for a Basset Hound but hate drool?
Drool comes with the breed.Chose a high-energy dog but live a low-energy life?
The dog won’t adjust — frustration will build.
These aren’t training problems.
They’re fit problems.
Energy, Grooming, and Reality Checks
Before choosing a dog, ask yourself honestly:
Am I willing to brush or groom every 4–6 weeks?
Can I afford regular grooming for the next 10–15 years?
Do I enjoy daily exercise and mental stimulation?
Would a constantly active dog stress me out?
Am I okay with shedding, drooling, or noise?
High energy isn’t bad.
Heavy grooming isn’t bad.
Shedding isn’t bad.
They’re only bad when they don’t match your lifestyle.
Why So Many Dogs End Up in Shelters
Most surrendered dogs were once loved.
They weren’t given up because they were “bad dogs.”
They were surrendered because owners weren’t prepared for:
Coat maintenance
Energy levels
Size and strength
Noise or drooling
The adult dog they became
This heartbreak starts at selection, not years later.
Why the Hands2Paws App Exists
Hands2Paws was built to stop this cycle before it starts.
Instead of browsing puppies based on looks, the app:
Asks nine simple lifestyle questions
Evaluates energy, grooming, shedding, and structure
Matches users with purebred dogs only
Excludes mixed breeds because they can’t be reliably predicted
Connects users to official breed associations
This isn’t about selling puppies.
It’s about making responsible, informed matches.
No Puppy Mills, No Guesswork.
Hands2Paws does not support:
Commercial breeders
Online puppy sales
Breeders who sell to pet stores
Instead, it points users toward breeders who:
Health test their dogs
Follow breed standards
Show and prove their dogs
Place puppies responsibly
That’s how predictability is preserved — and how dogs stay in homes for life.
Puppies Grow Up. Choose Accordingly.
Every puppy is cute.
