Here's A List Of Some Of The Most Popular Names For Dogs

So, you have a new dog — hopefully a rescue that you got at your local shelter — but you just can’t think of a solid name for the little pup.

Maybe you want something whimsical and fun.

Perhaps you are into movies, and you want to honor your favorite flick by naming your new best friend after one of the characters.

Then again, it could be that you want a name that is tried, tested, and true.

Whatever the case, you’ve come to the right place.

Thanks to the American Kennel Club, we have a list of the most popular names that people choose for their cuddly fur babies.

Unfortunately, There seems to be a surplus of dogs in shelters right now.

When the pandemic started, people were rescuing dogs like crazy.

They felt they needed that unconditional love in their lives during an otherwise horrendous time of uncertainty and loneliness.

At first, the shelters were running out of rescue pets.

A good problem to have, right?

Well, it didn’t last long.

People are now returning to work, school, and extracurricular activities, and they just don’t seem to have time for those pets that loved them so unconditionally.

So, all these doggos are being taken back into the shelters, and need good and loving families — perhaps like YOURS — to finally give them forever homes.

Maybe these dogs had names before, but that doesn’t stop you from making that pup your OWN, and giving it a name worthy of the bond you two now share.
