ning when her foster dad leaves for work. She sure loves her foster daddy!! She is good with her foster mom but there is a definite affection and respect for men. She is the same way with our adult sons when they come to visit… it’s very sweet to see. Lindy loves toys and walks well on a leash. She is, however, very picky about whom she likes when it comes to her other foster siblings. Lindy definitely wants to be the alpha dog in the pack, but she has not won that spot at her foster home. She gets along well with the pack leader, Darby, as you can see from her photos. As for the other foster siblings at her home, they have learned respect for each other. Anyone interested in Lindy that currently has dogs needs to know that it will take some time, patience and extreme supervision before everyone will mesh. Lindy is also food aggressive when fed with the other dogs but is very gentle if you feed her in a different location or in her crate. She cannot share a water bowl either. Lindy does well when we feed her treats by hand and she will wait her turn with the others when we share our morning toast. Lindy did well when her fosters’ small grandchildren came for a visit, but again that was with a very close eye. We think she would do well with older children that would understand and respect her space. She has great house manners and has not had accidents in the house. She sleeps quietly in her crate at night and when we are away from the house. She loves to be outside and also loves to hitch a ride in the car where ever you are going. Lindy will sit when instructed and will also shake hands, but stay and lie down are still a work in progress. She understands the meaning of NO and we are working on keeping her from being a counter surfing. Lindy’s foster home does not have a cat but we are guessing she would NOT do well with a cat. Lindy is a great watch dog as she hears everything and will bark to alert you. Her health is excellent and she is super sweet and easy to LOVE. We are thinking she would do best in a one dog home; however, she does really like to play with other dogs, but only on her terms. So, if your home already has a dog just know you will need to take it slow with our Miss Lindy.

  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.
