e point she thought the owner's daughter and aide were hurting her when they tried to help her up. Thus, she is back with Suffolk Humane hoping someone won't care how protective she can get. She would love to be the center of someone’s world again. She will sit on your lap all day if you let her. She doesn't have to be crated and she is housetrained. She will not tell you when she needs to go out but she is fully trained if you take her out every few hours. She can be very temperamental when it comes to cutting her nails or putting on sweaters. She is typical for her breed, must go slowly at first but once she bonds, she sticks to you like glue! She tolerates other dogs, but she doesn’t interact with them. She has no experience with cats. No small children due to her small size. Please email: Suffolk Humane Society for information at dogadoptions@Suffolkhumanesociety.com or call 757-538-3030 and leave message. Application, fee of $200, home visit and vet reference apply. Thank you again for your interest in Suffolk Humane Society!

  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.
