ing and did a lot, and I mean a lot, of stretching and has been improving every day. Desi has some old injuries that are not slowing her down. She is blind in one eye but doesn't miss a thing. She has an old knee injury, but her leg seems to be getting stronger every day. Everything is new and exciting to her. She loves being out in the yard and watching birds and people. She is getting the hang of riding in the car. She was scared the first few times and even ducked when we would go under an underpass. She doesn't pull when on a lead but is still learning how to walk well on a leash - a work in progress. She has met chickens and a pet pig. She loves the chickens and will watch them all day. She was curious about cats until she crossed the line and got cat slapped! Now she pays no attention to them. She gets along well with her foster brothers as long as they don't try to rough house. She will let them know when to back off. With people she insists on snuggling and giving kisses. Desi makes herself at home wherever she goes. She is house trained and stays in a crate while I'm at work but that's just because of her foster brother who can bother her sometimes. Everyone eats together but in separate corners without any problem. You can eat on the couch and she doesn't beg. Desi loves kids and is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever had the privilege to meet. She doesn't need to be super active and is more than happy to have some yard time and plenty of snuggles. Do you think you could be the person to give her her furever home?

  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.
