d. He is also highly treated motivated which works for training. He is no couch potato and will require a person who will work with him daily to help burn off his energy. He is not suited for a home with children due to his energy level. He is young and has a lot to learn, training is an absolute must. Donovan came to us from shelter where he was taken to after being found outside in the freezing rain. His former person is bed-ridden and no longer able to care for him. Donovan is now living with one of our trainers, working on his manners and learning how to properly interact with other dogs. He is good with other dogs, but just needs to learn proper etiquette when introducing himself. Donovan just seems nervous and a little unsure of himself. He loves treats and will sit politely. Donovan is a little underweight at 52 lbs, but does have a smaller frame. Donovan will take a little time to adjust to a new family and home, but with patience and guidance he will make a great new family member Visit our website at www.magsr.org for more info and to fill out our online adoption 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.
