/11, and 10/22/13. Harrison was dumped out on our county road, and I saw him first on 7/15/11, but he wouldn't come to me, so I set some food and water out for him in his little hiding spot amidst a tree, branches, bushes, and greenbriar. I set some more food out the next day, and he still wouldn't come to me, and then I didn't see him. I checked one more time on 7/18/11, and he was back in his hiding spot, but now he had injuries, so I couldn't just leave him. I had to lay down and push through the branches to get him by the back of his neck. He was so terrified of me that he bit my wrist a few times (which can be normal for any inured animal), and started screaming, so I grabbed one of his back legs with my right hand, and held my left hand up to keep him away from my right hand. After about 2 minutes of this, he saw I wasn't going to hurt him, and he let me pick him up by the back of his neck again, and carry him to my truck. It appeared as if he had been hit by a vehicle. His rectum was swollen, he had an open wound above his right eye, and he was limping on his right front leg. I put him on oral antibiotics and antibiotic ointment on the wound above his eye. As of 8/3/11 he is in much better shape. The swelling has gone away, the wound above his eye is amost gone, and he is not limping with the front right leg anymore. He is starting to play with the other puppies and dogs in the pen area I put him in, and when I walk up to him he comes up kissing my hand and lets me pet him. He is making a lot of improvement in a short time. He will also come to the fence now when I walk up to it. He really enjoyed the can food I gave him to take his medicine. He is also getting a lot of attention when volunteers come. He has an underbite, so he may have Boxer in him. D.O.B.: ? May 11, 2011 Weight: 21.5 - 8/3/11; around 60 pounds now $70 adoption fee will pay for his neuter and vaccinations.

  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.
