his little lady is amazingly affectionate, gentle, and trusting. She definitely likes to be close to her human companions and will follow you around the house or through the yard, and trot along happily on leashed walks. Nellie is super healthy and in great shape. At her foster home, Nellie is very relaxed and has nicely decompressed. That said, Nellie is not a fan of change and will need at least a couple of days to feel comfortable with new people in a new home. Her initial urge might be to hide or to get away, and she may dig under fences to get out of the yard. She will need to be closely watched and securely contained during this transition period, but once she feels safe, she turns into the most devoted and loyal lovebug and her drive to escape decreases to zero. When her foster family went on vacation and Nellie moved to a temporary foster home, she was part of the tribe after the third night. Nellie is a perfect pack dog. The minute she arrived at her foster home, she effortlessly fit right in with their two small dogs and two cats. We don't know how she would be around children, but we assume that she would do well with calm and gentle kids. She is a relaxed passenger on car rides and enjoys going on adventures. This sweet girl is looking for a loving family where she will be showered with copious amounts of TLC, preferably with another mellow dog or two and/or agreeable cats for company. She does prefer women as companions. Penelope was found as a stray and came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services.

  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.
