ful life but then she became very ill and couldn’t take him with her. Max was confused for a while, but with lots of love and extra attention he has adapted to his foster home. Max loves to play tug-a-war with his toy and he always wants to win. Max loves sleeping with you and will cuddle under the covers when he gets cold. He his house trained on potty pads but prefers to go outside to do his business. He gets along very well with the other dogs and the house cats. Max just wants to be around you and love on you; he will chew on your hand a little to get your attention, but never hurts you. You tell him to go get his toy and he will. He enjoys chewing on his cow hooves when he is just lying around. Max would enjoy someone that will have time with him and not be left at home all day.

If you are considering adopting a dog through HALO Here are some helpful hints: Please bring pictures of your yard showing your fencing and yard and bring any other dogs that you have to be introduced to make sure that they get along. Most of our dogs require a 6 foot fenced yard. Yards must be cleared of any fox tail weeds. The adoption donation is cash or check. We only adopt our dogs out to Contra Costa County residence only so that we may follow up on their well-being to make sure that they are happy and thriving. We do adopt small dogs to apartments or condo and need to see pictures of the patio or balcony area. If you rent, please bring copy of your lease to show you can have pets and any size restrictions. We do not adopt to homes with children under the age of five unless we know the history of the dog with young children. All Children MUST be present at adoption.

  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.
