Summer is a great time to get a pet. Service“Mospitomec”, the portal mos.ru allows you to get acquainted with the catalog of four-legged friends ready for adoption from city shelters.
There are currently 48 puppy profiles and six kitten profiles up to one year old in the “Mospitomtsa” catalog. The youngest of them are about two months old. Among the kittensRichard,Hadji and Toffi, and also puppiesAvache,Galantus and Дорнан. You can set search filters and select an animal by type of fur, color, potential size, and age. For example, at the moment the service features a profile of only one long-haired puppy —Shark, the others — with medium or short fur.
It is easier to train a young animal, provide it with the right lifestyle, and monitor its health. The younger the pet, the faster it remembers the boundaries of what is allowed. For example, early training of puppies helps prevent behavioral problems (aggression, fear, and anxiety). Without training, the animal will not know how to behave properly and may do everything at home that seems acceptable to it.
Taking an animal from a shelter, it is important to remember that the pet needs time to settle in. It is crucial not to let it go outside alone, and when taking it for a walk, always put on a collar with an address tag. Puppies and kittens may experience stress and hide, be scared, or, on the contrary, be too bold and explore everything in a row, so it is necessary to be nearby constantly and help them adapt.
Puppy questionnaire selection
Masyanya— a beautiful eight-month-old dog from the shelter for homeless animals in “Zelenograd”, gentle in communication with its peers. She does not adapt quickly to new conditions, so a private house with a predictable peaceful life is preferable for her.
10-monthOrléansA is a two-colored dog with a kind heart. She is a bit timid in a new place, but in her attentive gaze lives a quiet hope for meeting a sensitive person. The little one loves balls, funny squeaky toys, fun games with a rope, and also enjoys walking on a leash, exploring every leaf and blade of grass. You can personally meet her at the TINAO shelter for homeless animals.
MadonnaFrom the shelter “Zelenograd” — a two-colored eight-month-old dog, for whom every new treat and place is an opportunity for discovery.

The way to the heart of this dog lies through tasty treats: for the sake of a delicacy, she is ready for a lot.

Arracs— a nine-month-old curious black and tan puppy, who meets everything new and unknown with interest and at the same time with caution. He is drawn to people, but is still shy when there is a large crowd. He is learning to walk on a leash around the territory of the shelter “Zelenograd.”
There is an opinion that a dog stops being a puppy at one year, but in reality this period is individual. It depends on genetics, breed inheritance, and the animal’s characteristics. Even if a dog looks adult, its psyche and behavior can still correspond to a juvenile age for a long time. For example, in small breeds, the infant stage ends by 8–10 months, medium breeds mature at about one year of life, and large breeds can remain puppies until 18–24 months, and sometimes even up to two to three years.

This kitten currently lives in the “Zelenograd” shelter but is looking for a slightly crazy owner, ready to give her time and care.
From the veterinarians’ point of view, the stage of infancy and childhood in cats lasts up to a year. Then the animal enters the juvenile phase and is considered a young adult. However, the duration of development can vary depending on breed characteristics, gender, keeping conditions, and other factors. For example, large cats (Maine Coons and Siberians) reach full maturity later — at the age of one and a half to three years. Smaller ones (Singapuras and Munchkins) often mature faster — by 10–12 months.
