s housebroken, walks well on a harness and is so smart and treat oriented that he will be perfectly trained in no time. He knows sit and down. All he wants to do is be close to you and rest his head on your chest and star into your eyes with those big beautiful brown eyes of his. He has a lot of energy and loves to run around in the backyard, he lives with 2 cats and gets along well with them. He loves to play, but his biggest thing is he loves is to steal treats and run off with them. LOL EJ was found on the streets with a broken jaw that had fused back incorrectly, making it impossible for this little puppy to eat or drink. EJ was starving to death. His jaw was reset correctly and he was sent to 11th Hour to find his forever home. While in foster and as EJ grew his jaw bone fused together again. The poor little guy was again unable to open his mouth even for a treat. He had a second surgery OCT 3rd that removed more of his jaw bone so that it would not fuse up again. The surgeon was able to remove enough so the he has more motion then he had before, not full motion but enough that he can eat a treat or lick peanut butter from a spoon and even drink water like a normal dog as well as being able to pant to cool himself off. EJ is currently gaining weight and he loves to eat. He can actually bark now and will let you know when he hears anyone or anything around the house or coming in the door. He loves to play with socks and will run circles around you while you try to catch him. He loves to sleep with you and will stay by your side all night. He loves car rides - he will sit right in the passenger seat and put his head on the arm rest so you can pet him and he will look at you the whole time. I have never seen a dog look into your eyes as intensely as he does. EJ is very smart and is a good listener - of course he is with those ears!! He shows no sign of food aggression with his human friends. He is learning quickly and is very treat motivated which is fantastic. He is so eager to please and easily trained. WARNING—EJ has the biggest, sweetest brown eyes that will melt your heart. Humans need to be aware that they will fall in love quickly and deeply for this guy. Please fill out an application if you would like to have EJ join your 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.
