mately March 2016. I was rescued after being found in the woods with a badly fractured front leg--the leg could not be repaired and so we did surgery to remove it. I am doing fine being a tri-pod--getting around my foster home yard, up several steps and playing my foster siblings. I love to be outside and love to go for walks and other adventures. While very long and rugged hikes might be a bit much-- I am still up for neighborhood strolls and nice easy hikes. Did I tell you I also LOVE my toys?!?? I have a toybox at my foster home and I love to shop in there--I will choose a few toys and play with them for hours--I throw them up and catch them and so very gentle with them. I would do great with older kids and social dogs my size --- I am a little large for small dogs and very small kids. Also, I am not a fan of cats--so I would like to request a non -kitty home, please and thank you !! I am a very very loving girl and have a lot of love to give my new forever family--Please contact leeselman@comcast.net for an application. We would love to hear from you and see if we are a good match!

  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.
