into the animal shelter so that they could be rehomed. Our rescue took 4 of the dogs, including Archie. We are certain that these dogs were well loved. She just had too many and was unable to care for them properly. Archie has been recently groomed. He was very scared of the electric clippers, so our groomer scissor trimmed him. His coat will continue to grow and will need regular grooming appointments to keep him tidy. He will need to be taken to a groomer that is very experienced and patient, willing to work with his fear. Archie is a very sweet dog. He was the first to jump into our arms (literally) at the animal shelter, were we met him. He enjoys hanging out with his dog friends and would do fine in a multi dog home, or as an only dog. He met the cat in his foster home and was non-reactive. He is now crate trained and is learning how to walk on a leash. We do not know if he has been exposed to children, but feel that dog experienced kids of at least 10 years old should be fine. A very sweet and kind hearted beautiful dog that is sure to bring joy to your life.

  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.
