his foster dad and wrestle with his foster sister, and to get chased around by other dogs. He runs laps in the back yard and likes being outside. Amos is afraid of big dogs - it takes quite some time for him to accept them, but he's been fine with the small dogs he's met. It takes him a bit to warm up to new people,but once he likes you he loves to be held. Amos is housebroken and crate trained - he runs right into his crate for treats - and is quiet all night. He's likes to go outside and seems fine hanging out by himself, especially if he has something to chew. His foster dad believes he'd be a fantastic addition to a house with small dogs or no other dogs. His fear of larger dogs will require some patience, and hopefully he will outgrow it. Does Amos sound like a good fit for you? His adoption fee is $175, it includes his neuter, microchip and shots. Fill an application on our website: https://sites.google.com/site/friendsofjessaminecounty/dog-adoption-application and we will be in touch as we sort through his applications.

  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.
