ore information, including Frequently Asked Questions. This is Maple, or Maple Syrup as the kids have been calling her. She is approximately 8 years old, but still gets around perfectly fine and doesn't seem to know she's 8. She was abandoned at a shelter prior to the rescue finding her, so not much is known of her past. She's a climber and likes to climb on things if she is allowed, such as picnic tables at the parks, or into the back of the pickup truck (while it's parked of course.) But she is very polite and knows to get permission first. She absolutely loves car rides and will jump into any seat as soon as the door flies open. She didn't seem to know her name or any commands too well when we got her. She is getting pretty good with "Sit" and "Stay". She will come to her name, or whistling or clapping once she is comfortable with someone. She never barks or growls or seems defensive. She is very relaxed and has a go with the flow personality. She is great with kids of all ages, and shows no aggression towards her food or toys. She does like hard rubber toys she can chew on. She has had no accidents inside the house, and wakes me up if she needs to go out to go potty. She is still getting used to walking on a leash, and can pull small children, but she is fine with an adult holding her. I haven't had her around any cats yet, but I don't see it being an issue. She lives with a small tortoise that wanders around the house and other than just sniffing him once in awhile, she ignores him. He even eats her left over food. Maple would be great for a family looking for a calm dog who just wants some loving, and will take her on car rides and walks. Maple MUST be an only dog though, because once bonded to her people, she does not want to share them. Maple is fostered in Newport News VA Our adoption process consists of a telephone interview, a call to your veterinarian and a home visit.

  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.
