But First, a Public Service Announcement (Because Responsible Simming is Sexy)
You do need The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs expansion pack to adopt a canine companion. Don't worry, it's totally worth it.

-
Calling Up the Adoption Agency: This is the ultimate in convenience. Just whip out your Sim's phone, dial "Home," and select the oh-so-tempting "Call Adoption Agency" option. Voila! Soon, a lovely adoption agent will show up with a selection of adorable pups for you to choose from.
-
Using the Manage Households Menu: This method might take a tad longer, but it allows you to browse potential pooches at your own leisure. Head over to the trusty "Manage Households" menu on your computer. Click on "Adopt a Pet," and then get ready for cuteness overload as you peruse the furry options.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to be picky! This is your Sims' future BFF, after all. Make sure you find a dog that perfectly complements their personality. Do they crave adventure? Maybe a Husky is the perfect match. Looking for a cuddly couch potato companion? A Pug might be your soul pup.
Welcome Home, Fido! (Except You Can Totally Name Your Dog Whatever You Want)
Once you've chosen your canine soulmate, the adoption agent will deliver your new furry friend right to your doorstep. Prepare for zoomies, excited barks, and enough slobbery kisses to melt even the coldest Sim's heart.
Now, the real fun begins! Shower your pup with love, train them with delicious treats (don't skimp on the quality!), and build an unbreakable bond. Remember, with a dog in your Sims' life, every day is an adventure (or at least an exciting game of fetch in the living room).
So there you have it, folks! With these simple steps, you'll be welcoming a furry friend into your Sims' home in no time. Now get out there and start building those memories (and maybe buy a few chew toys to save your furniture...just a suggestion). Happy Simming!
