ne who meets this boy loves him. Gumby/BJ made his way into rescue when his owner was admitted into the hospital. While in the hospital the owner's daughter broke into the home and threw a week long party, leaving poor Gumby/BJ alone in his crate – no food, no water and no place to go potty. He has a little anxiety which we suspect stems from that period of his life. While he is still a work in progress, I can see the dog he will be with time, a firm heart, gentle hands, and patience. He does not seem to have any sort of issues with men, women, cats, other dogs. He loves the car although his manners in the car could be improved. Is this boy birdy?? He would stop in the middle of peeing to watch the birds in the trees… so does that answer that question? He is beginning to show signs of wanting to play with my dog Charlie, but he is apprehensive around my female ES who is a total brat and hateful to everyone except Charlie. If she sits next to Gumby/BJ for a cookie, he will move over about 6-9 inches to give her more space. I've seen zero signs of dominance with him. He is not very good on the leash right now, and is very strong for his size. I'm hoping that a gentle leader might help with that. I've not used one on one of my dogs in a decade but if it helps him get the walking on the leash struggle under control it will be worth in. Gumby/BJ is good in a crate and has never soiled or torn up anything in his crate. I think he will need a home with a strong male in the household, and he will need a household where he either has a big yard to run in or someone who can maybe jog with him. I think in the right home, Gumby/BJ is going to learn to be a complete gentleman as I suspect he was prior to his incident. If you are interested in adopting soft, furry Gumby/BJ, please fill out an application.

  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.
