He has been introduced to cats at and is not really sure what to make of these small creatures that make funny noises but he has not made any aggressive move towards them at all. He does get a little overly interested and starts following them but you can tell him no and he listens. The older cat who has will gently nip at him to let him know to back off and he does. He is completely housebroken and we are working on being in a crate. He goes in and out of the crate willingly throughout the day he just isn't a fan of the door being closed. As far as house manners he still has a little to learn but you rarely have to correct him more than once and he is very sensitive to the tone of your voice. He is very very timid and just wants to make you happy. As long as you clearly communicate in his terms what you want he will do it. We would not recommend him for a house with very small children that are not accustomed to large dogs only because he is big and a bit clumsy and could knock them down but he really loves to interact with kiddos. When he first met his foster's youngest, he crouched down on the ground in front of the little girl to make himself look smaller. In a household with very dominant dogs, he would just fade into the background and could easily be bullied. He is a serious couch potato who would benefit from somebody that will encourage exercise with him and I don't think he will be anybody's jogging partner. We have not heard him bark a single time since he has been here, which hasn't been long but we do not believe he is a barker. ** Please complete the application to ADOPT at http://www.codysfriendsrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application/ We do home checks and have a 10 day in-home trial period before finalizing the adoption. Our standard adoption fees cover spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, vet check and heartworm test. Our dogs are current on heartworm preventative. His adoption fee is $250.

  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.
