becoming a nuisance to the neighbors because of her need to run. As a Border Collie, Ruby will need a ''job'' to keep her busy and lots of attention and mental stimulation. She is reportedly good with babies and children, and very loyal to her family, but can be nervous/aggressive with strangers and other dogs. Mutual visits with any pre-existing dogs in a potential adoptive home is a MUST. Because Ruby is a herding breed, it is likely she will be inclined to chase and herd small animals and cats, which could result in injury to them, so she may do best in a home that does not have either. According to her previous owner, Ruby is crate trained, housebroken (goes to the door when she needs to potty), gentle when playing and affectionate. Ruby does dig and can be noisy, and has only minimal obedience training under her belt so would benefit from obedience classes with her new family.

  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.
