equirements and specifics for this dog. Websites such as Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet may not show all the information that we have listed. Heath is a sweet and playful boy who absolutely adores romping with other dogs, almost as much as he adores people! Because of his story (see below) we feel Heath would be happiest in a home with at least one other dog to play with and to follow, especially when humans aren't around. Since Heath was used to living outside 24/7 his first months of life, a home with a fenced yard and outdoor time would also be best for him. He is very gentle for his young age so would do great with dog savvy children. Heath is a free spirit and is not keen on being crated/confined, but tolerates the crate for short periods. At night he likes to sleep on a dog bed in his person's room and will sleep quite soundly. This sweet boy is a "velcro dog" and is happiest when with his family. EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Heath's story is unique, his Mom was a stray for over a year who found refuge in the yard of a kind elderly gentleman who did not have the means to care for her or her puppies, but did the best he could. A BFPA volunteer spotted Heath and his family loose by the road and stopped to ask if help was needed for them, and the older gentleman kindly allowed BFPA to rescue them to give them a better life. Despite not having a true "home" Heath and his family adore all people and other dogs. INTERESTED IN ADOPTING HEATH ?

  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.
