A dream in which you see yourself adopting a dog is a sign that you have too many disloyal people in your life. You are looking for people you can trust but cannot find them.
Dogs in the dream mean loyalty. So, the fact that you are adopting a dog means that you are looking for this particular trait in those around you but you cannot find it.
Here are some dreams in which you see yourself adopting a dog and what they might mean.
Adopting a male puppy or dog
To see yourself adopting a male puppy or grown dog means that you lack male energy in your life. You might even have many male people around but you cannot feel the connection.
What’s even more important is that these people in your life do not seem to be loyal and that is why you see yourself having to adopt a male dog to get that male loyalty in your life.
Adopting a female puppy or dog
Adopting a female puppy or grown dog in the dream means that you lack female energy in your life. You could have many female friends and relatives around you but there does not seem to be a deep connection with them. The dream also means that there is disloyalty among those around you and so you resort to adopting a female puppy.
Adopting a sick or dying dog
To see yourself adopting a sick or dying dog in the dream means that you have a compassionate heart and do lend a helping hand to those around you.
However, you do not get much in return for your kindness, and some even repay you with malice and mistreatment. The symbolism here is that once you adopt the dying dog, it will soon pass on and that will leave you feeling hurt. In real life, it means you help people but soon, your help leads you to more pain.
Adopting Pitbull, Rottweiler, or German Shepherd
Adopting a pitbull, rottweiler, or German shepherd in the dream means that you are lacking aggression in your life.

The problems to overcome could be in your relationship, your job, your education, your career, etc,

The black dog in the dream is a sign that you have to keep some of the people around you in the dark and not tell them everything.
Dream about adopting a white dog meaning
A dream in which you see yourself adopting a white dog means that you need to be more open and transparent. You are too closed up and this extends to when you need help. Instead of asking for assistance from those around you, you choose to keep quiet.
