ulties her owners were having, but they failed to take the necessary steps to get her back and keep her safe. We would love to give her a permanent home ourselves but our household with rescued dogs coming and going is too active for her sensitive nature. Heidi is 7 years old, spayed, house trained, crate trained, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative and she is on monthly medication to protect her against heartworms, fleas and intestinal parasites. She is a lean 74 lb and has never had any health issues. She is easy to handle for grooming, veterinary procedures and nail trims. She loads up on command and is a good car rider. We have not worked with her on training but she knows "sit" and "crate" and would be easy to train for other commands. She does need some more practice walking on a loose leash but she's very responsive. Heidi is fine with cats. She is not a fan of yappy and/or rambunctious dogs and puppies. She is very dignified and is only interested in the attention from her humans and is a true Velcro type German Shepherd. When she wants attention she will wave one of her front paws or gently tap you with it. She would probably be fine with one other quiet natured dog, preferably a male, but we would have to tear them together. She was raised around children and is not aggressive towards them and also isn't a jumper but if there are children in a prospective home for her they would need to be older and experienced with large dogs. Heidi is located near Columbia SC. I would like to place her as close to that area as possible. Her adoption process includes a phone interview, written application, veterinary reference, home visit, trial period of at least two weeks, and finalization of the adoption by contract. Her adoption fee is $150.00. This is a courtesy post for another rescuer, DO NOT CONTACT NEW BEGINNINGS SHEPHERD RESCUE!! DOG IS LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC CONTACT CAROLINE AT 803-477-5233

  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.
