Getting a new garage door is a significant investment and something that you will be living with for years to come. Because of that, it pays to get it right and make sure you are totally happy with your purchase. Here are some things to think about that could make a difference to your decision and, hopefully, leave you happier in the long run.

  • The style of the door – Although it’s a practical piece of kit, you still need to like the way your garage door looks. It also needs to fit with the overall style of your house.
  • Consider insulation – If you are going to entering and leaving your home via the garage, it’s a good idea to look at garage doors with insulation. This will help keep your home more energy efficient and your bills lower.
  • Be practical – Garage doors can open in many ways. Some need to space than others, some are easy to use with an automatic opener – all important things to bear in mind.
  • Think about ongoing care – When choosing a material for your garage door, don’t forget that some will need more looking after than others. Make sure you are aware of and willing to take on the maintenance requirements of your new door.

Brandy is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a serious love for belly rubs, fetch, and being your constant shadow. She’s sweet, affectionate, and always ready to flop over for tummy time! This big, bouncy girl handles beautifully and is incredibly people-oriented—so much so that being left alone makes her sad. She will not hesitate to vocalize when she feels lonely or may try to find an escape route to get to her people. Because of this, she’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to shower her with attention and keep her company. Brandy is easily excitable and can be jumpy when making new friends with people, so she’s best suited to a home without kids. She knows “sit” and “drop it,” has a cute little auto-sit when she wants something, and will gently place her toys at your feet for fetch (which she LOVES and doesn’t destroy—bonus!). Brandy also insists on being the one and only furry royalty in your life. She doesn’t want to share her humans, her home, or her toys—so no other pets, please! She’s ready to rule her kingdom solo as the Queen Bee she knows she is. If you’ve got a secure yard, a good throwing arm, and room in your heart for a one-dog show, Brandy just might be your perfect match. Check out LAPS here for more adoptables .
