their own. For whatever, to us, incomprehensible reason, they were dumped. They were taken to a low adoption shelter in WV and nobody came forward to claim them. We were able to pull them to our rescue. Brenna is ultra lovable, she's a senior long-haired Dachshund who loves everyone she meets and is quick to offer gentle kisses. She is is great with other dogs and was fine with the cats we introduced to her. Brenna has no trouble getting around despite being mostly blind from cataracts. She seems to sniff and map out new places very quickly. Brenna also gets a "helping paw" from her companion, Finley, who acts as her seeing eye dog. Mellow, loving and easy-going, Brenna will be a loving, loyal friend in her golden years. Brenna's cute companion is Finley, a senior, smooth coated dachshund. Everybody who meets Finley falls in love with him. He's open and trusting and loves spending time on a human lap. Finley also does great with other dogs and cats. He walks well on leash, but does not require lots of exercise. Finley does have some age-related cataracts and a few benign fatty tumors, but one look at his still jaunty walk or into his soulful eyes and you can see how much life and love he still has to give. We can only imagine what Brenna and Finley endured out on the streets, separated from whatever home and family they had known. We only know that they did endure and they endured together. And we want to be sure it stays that way. Brenna and Finley give each other comfort, confidence and consolation; we're seeking a home and heart with room for two. We want their future to be so much brighter than their recent past and we want them to share it together.

  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.
