Only respectful kids over 10 House trained: No but uses pee pads Crate trained: Yes Energy level: Low History: Breeder release from Missouri Adoption Fee: $350 From the Foster: Larkin is such a sweet sweet little girl. She is very fearful of people but opens up around other dogs, big or small. Because of this, I think she would do best placed in a home with another dog. Larkin is certainly a flight risk because she will run if she senses she is about to be picked up or pet. She tolerates most things, like baths and nail trims. She is kennel trained and does well not having accidents in there. She does not like being left alone, but also likes being a wallflower - she doesn't need much attention to be content. She loves taking naps on the couch and will cuddle pretty much wherever you put her. Larkin is not potty trained, but we are working on it - we have been using pee pads lately since it's been so cold out. She does not bark and I don't think she has an aggressive bone in her body. She is scared of cats, but mostly just ignores them. She will attempt to nip if she gets scared when you go to pick her up, but once she is in your arms she's fine. Larkin has blended into our 5 dog, 2 cat home nicely and I think she will make a wonderful pet for whoever has the time to devote to her socialization. All dogs are in individual foster homes throughout the Twin Cities. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION TODAY!

  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.
