his human as much as possible. Marlie needs an adopter who is experienced with fearful dogs. We believe Marlie has been hit in his previous home and is afraid of hands and new people. He needs to be introduced to people slowly and they can't touch him at first. Once he is ok with that person, he can easily be petted. He also bonds quickly to his human and will try to keep other dogs away. He seems to be afraid of large dogs and may chase the cats. We recommend a home with no children. There is too much noise and too many people at adoption events and Marlie does not do well. He really is a cute little dog and will love you unconditionally but he needs structure and discipline. Our adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter surgery, parvo/distemper shots and rabies shots (for dogs over 6 months), deworming, microchipping, flea and tick protection, heartworm testing (for dogs over 6 months), and monthly heartworm protection until the dog gets adopted. If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at http://www.dreamhouserescue.org . You can meet this dog in person Saturday at Eastgate Petsmart between 12-4 pm. Would you like a private meet and greet to introduce this dog to your current pets? Call or text Sue at 513-484-9840 or Bonnie at 513-967-0007. Not sure? Ask about our Foster to Adopt program. Sweet Dream House Rescue is holding adoption events this Saturday (12-5 pm) at the Newport Petsmart (156 Pavilion Parkway, Newport, KY) and on Saturday (12-4 pm) at the Eastgate Petsmart (650 Eastgate South Dr., Cincinnati, OH).

  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.
