on their fingers to get attention which could be alarming to small children therefore we believe he would do best with older children who would not be startled with this form of affection. He does know the "sit" command and that helps to calm him down a little. We believe he is a Staffordshire Terrier mixed with perhaps a boxer. He is currently fostered where he has to stay outside so we don't know if he is house trained. He does have a large outside chain link kennel he stays in at night which has a designated area for relieving himself and he does use that area so we feel he would be easy to house train. He isn't a big marker outside so we think that would not be a big issue inside the house but he would need to be watched to correct that issue should it arise. He gets along with most dogs and has a best friend "Sofie" who he runs and plays with and they are in kennels next to each other. We believe he would do best with a female dog since we already know he does so well with Sofie who is a girl. We don't know how he is with cats. Because our adoption process includes a home visit for a yard check, he is available for adoption in the immediate DFW area only. He is neutered, current on his vaccinations and heartworm tested and micro chipped. If you are seriously interested in meeting TJ outside our adoption events you may email us for a questionnaire to fill out. If it looks like your home would be a good match for TJ we can set up a meet and greet. His adoption fee is $150.

  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.
