Description

Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Dozer can sit, play fetch, and he gets what we like to call the "zoomies" when he gets super excited. He loves to play tug of war, and he can play for hours if you let him. He DOES NOT like to be left alone for long periods of time. He needs to have a fence 10 ft, or taller. He is a jumper and a runner. He loves going for walks, and is gonna need more leash training. He doesn't like other dogs or cats and would probably do best in a home with kids 12+. He is scared of fireworks and thunder. He likes the water but doesn't enjoy baths. He likes to get snuggles and kisses before bed and his favorite spot to sleep is at your feet. He really is a good dog that will bring you a lot of happiness. He just needs to go to the right home. He LOVES cheese. He loves toys too, but the rope toys he'll eat. He likes to tear apart the plush doggy toys and burry the squeaker. He used to burry all his squeaks in my couch, so when you would sit down my couch would squeak. He has so much love to give. He had parvo as a baby, but is doing great now. He is a good boy and he needs loving patient people around him. Please consider adding Dozer to your family! Dozer is a participant in the DFWRM Guest Dog Program, so his ongoing care and custody are provided by his foster, not by DFWRM.

1. Do your research – find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
2. Decide what you can handle – before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you’re about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don’t have time for potty training and obedience classes you’ll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies – It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don’t be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet.
4. Start looking… Once you know what you’re looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
5. Meet in person. Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can’t get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
