Socialization is essential for helping puppies develop into happy, fun and secure companions.

Experts agree that the risk of a puppy being surrendered to a shelter for behavior problems is so high that young puppies must be socialized to help prevent future problems.

Plus, adoptions are more successful overall when dogs are relaxed with strangers, get along with other pets and can adapt easily to new experiences.

All dogs available for adoption through the ASPCA are evaluated and attend socialization and obedience classes when needed.
