you would be correct! He is happy, fun, and silly, and loves to play with other dogs. He even met the cat, and lay down in front of the kitty calmly to see if he wanted to play, too. Although Gator is playful, he is also a shy, soft hearted boy who is timid when first meeting new people or in new situations. He needs a patient family who will continue to make him feel safe and secure and overcome his apprehensiveness. Once he opens up, this boy is a goofball! He currently weighs 39 pounds so he is going to be a good sized Catahoula, so we have already started on his obedience training to make the best possible dog out of him. Gator is learning to walk on a leash, he has learned Sit, is working on Down, and he is crate trained and sleeps in a crate at night. He will even go into his crate when asked if you coax him with a treat. He is very treat motivated, which makes training him a breeze, and he loves to hear praise when he’s done well. We don’t consider Gator fully housetrained as of yet, but he does not have overnight accidents in his crate and he is doing well during the day with consistent trips outdoors. Gator needs a family where there is at least one other dog in the home to play with him, as he is very social and needs that interaction to burn off his puppy energy. We also think Gator would be great in a home with children, although he may be a little too energetic for very young children. Gator has been fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and is current on flea and heartworm prevention. He is available for a $250 adoption donation, and if you would love to add this cutie to your family, please download an adoption application from our website, www.twistedbranchaussies.com, and submit it to the email address on the form.

  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.
