even cats! Red was found lying in a yard in rural Missouri. It was determined that he had a broken pelvis (likely from being hit by a vehicle) and was heartworm positive. He had the good fortune of being called to the attention of a vet in the area that loved the Brittany breed, and she got him on the road to recovery--finding a surgeon to do the surgery on his pelvis and donating much of her professional expertise, time, and resources while fostering him in her home through both his surgery recovery and his heartworm treatment. After he was neutered, we learned that the pins for Red's surgery had migrated. Orthopedic surgeons at the State's vet school have discouraged additional surgery with the belief that it could cause nerve damage. Because his hips could be vulnerable, Red will need to go to a home without a lot of stairs and a home that has a fair amount of carpet or stable rugs to provide him with good footing. He will also need to maintain a healthy weight so that his joints aren't overtaxed, and it is not recommended that he jump on/off beds and furniture but he loves his dog bed so that shouldn't be a problem for him! Red runs and plays with the other dogs and loves being part of a pack. He is overall very happy with a good quality of life. He loves attention and loves being brushed and petted and will gently nudge your hand to continue if you stop. Red is also crate trained. Red gets around well and has shown no signs of pain in the two months he has been on his current medication and supplements. The costs of those items will vary depending on region but that is also something to take into account when considering if Red is a good fit for you. Red is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. He will be a great addition to the family who is aware of his history and willing to keep him on the right path. If you would like to learn more about Red, please contact the Missouri coordinator, Lisa Langeneckert at mo-britts@sunlover.net. Red can be transported via our wonderful all-volunteer Brittany Railroad.

  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.
