dumpster site. Both appeared to have either been living there for a long time or possibly even being feral as both were extremely terrified of people. We had to use a trap to capture both of them. When she first came to us Rosa didn't want us to touch her, she would run around her kennel when we attempted to do so. We decided not to force ourselves on her and decided to let her move at her pace to see if she become more accepting of us. After 6 months she finally stoppd running but would tense up and tremble whenever we did touch her, Another two months, she allowed us to pick her up. Now, a year later, she is doing much better and lets us pick her up, although she still acts scared. But it's obvious that she enjoys the affection shown to her and really wants to be a calm, relaxed dog with human interaction, maybe she just doesn't know how to relax completely. Rosa needs and deserves a home with someone who is highly experienced in dealing with an extremely timid dog. She does get along very well with other dogs, even serving as an "ambassador" to some of the new small dogs and pups when they first come into our rescue. By observing other dogs who have shared her kennel Rosa has picked up on their interaction with us and seems to make progress in becoming more sociable. While she is very attached to Gomez, Rosa has also done very well when we make them spend time away from each other. We'd love to find a home where they could stay together but may also consider separating the two. Rosa's ideal home will be one without young children or a lot of commotion as noises and such frighten her. Also her adopter must understand that it will take time for her to become accepting of them. Rosa has been fully vetted including being spay and has even tested negative for heart worms. She's healthy and, in her own way, happy. She just needs a home where she can continue her progress in becoming as sociable as she possibly can. If you think you have what it takes to offer Rosa the home she needs and deserves please submit an application at socorescue.com

  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.
