running down Lynn Rd. in duct tape and wire. He was very happy to jump in the car and couldn't have been more grateful and sweet. He had a very rough beginning, he had parasites, intestinal worms and heart worms. We have treated all of these issues as well as neutered and micro chipped him and he is now ready to find his forever home. This guy is one big ball of love. His affection for his pack family is strong and is balanced by his desire to protect them. He loves to chase: a ball, a remote control car, or a possum (he caught one in our back yard). The temptation to pursue is just too much to resist! Another dog that is laid back and non-aggressive would be an option. He is learning to make friends and is doing great but is reactive to aggressiveness in other dogs. A family with a cat or another small dog may not be the best fit for that reason as he is a large dog. He is a fast learner and has already picked up so many great skills. He is quiet in the crate and in general. In the two months he has been with us, I can count on one hand the number of times I have heard him bark. He sits/stays before every meal, and is learning how to walk nicely on a leash. He has a strong desire to please, which makes training so much more fun! Angus has not had much socialization with other dogs, so he needs a strong leader with patience to help him figure out how to behave properly. He is not the dog for a first time dog owner. He has adjusted well to our kids, but it took some time for him to figure out the pack order. We think he would fit best in a family with kids over the age of 12. This guy will make an amazing family member, his love knows no limits despite the rough start from which he came.

  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.
