er previous owners are active duty military who were transferred to a base where she was not welcome because she is a pit bull type dog. An excerpt from the shelter evaluation shortly after she arrived there: "T his dog is aged so she has low energy and is generally very mellow. This is a very easy dog to work with when you combine that low energy with good focus. She swivels around to focus on your command whenever you call her name. She is a little too old for play. When prompted she chooses to slowly follow you around and ask for affection. She perks up a tad around other dogs. She has good presentation and a strong persistence to force interaction. The dog I tested her with chose to explore rather than interact so she chose to follow him around, sniffing him all over, trying to get something out of him. She would be an easy placement in any environment J ." In addition, Roxy has previously lived with children (aged 13, 6, and 3). She's the epitome of a family dog and we'd love to find her a place to be spoiled for the rest of her days. Interested? Please fill out our on-line application! .ambassadorpitbulls/adoption-application.html Completing our application doesn't obligate you to anything but it is a starting point for discussion regarding the possibility of adoption.

  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.
