he contact info provided below. Castle Of Dreams has no further information to provide. kadelgador@gmail.com 732-915-4140 Diamond is an 8 year old blue/red-nose female pitbull. She is about 70 lbs, with a champagne coat, obsessed with playing catch. ew are unsure if she is still good with other dogs, as Niko has been the only other dog she's been exposed to in recent years. When she was a pup up until 2 years of age, she was extremely sociable. She was actually AKC Star Puppy certified. She's afraid of thunder, fireworks, brooms and plastic bags. She loves to cuddle, and is incredibly social with humans. We have a 20 month old at home, and she is great with him. Our other dog is a 7 year old male Amstaff. His name is Niko, weighs about 80 lbs with a dark gray/white coat. He is not that great with other dogs (He doesn't attack, but makes a strange high-pitched bark when he sees other dogs). We think he just doesn't know how to communicate/socialize with other dogs, and that is our fault for not socializing him well. He is incredibly social with humans and is also great with our 20 month old. He loves to eat! Where Diamond will do ANYTHING for a ball, Niko will do anything for a treat! He tends to urinate when he gets too excited, especially when a person tries to greet him. We always make sure he is walked right before visitors arrive. Both dogs are up-to-date with vaccines, are spayed/neutered, have never had any major surgeries, never had major health problems (although Niko gets rashes from the warm weather). They both know their basic commands (sit, stay, down, heel, wait, ok [release], paw, roll over, go, off/up), and they're very good listeners. They aim to please, and get very sad if you get upset with them. They are wonderful dogs who deserve the best home(s)!

  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.
