rever.' I'm sure you've heard about FOREVER. I'm told it means "the place where everyone takes care of you as long as you live, even when you get old, grumpy, and gray!" I'd like to experience that myself, and not just read about it. My former foster mom worked at a library, and I consider myself pretty well-read by association, so I am pretty sure that FOREVER is something I'd really like. The thing is, I'm pretty set in my ways, being a senior and all, and I don't enjoy being handled much, you know, like at the vet office? My ideal family would be respectful of me, asking me kindly to comply, and I most likely would grudgingly do it, because having FOREVER as part of my name would be so, so awesome! Can you guess what my breed mix is? Haha, I don't know either. Some of my friends think I'm a Springer Spaniel and Bassett Hound mixed together! I know I like farm animals, and I'm enjoying the other dogs and cats on the foster farm. I'm really glad there are no kids here, because I'm not so good with kids. If you'd like some company as you make your rounds of chores in the morning, and then head back to the house for some quiet time, please think about including little old me in your life! There is no adoption fee for me and I'll give you my life history and medical background... whatever you want! Please give me a chance to be in your household!" Our process begins with an application, found on our website, www.friendsofcampbellcounty.org. Once your application has been received, a volunteer will call the references you list and then will contact you.

  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.
