age. I beat my aging foster mom up the stairs every single time. I love to go for walks. Sometimes I spend more time sniffing my surroundings than walking, but there’s so much to smell. I love playing catch with my toys. I like big people, little people and in-between people. I get along with other dogs and most of the time I just ignore them. I am well-mannered and don’t bark at people when they come to the door. I’m really not a barker at all. I don’t even bark at all the wild turkeys when they come down our street. I take lots of naps and like to be close to my fosters at night, (well, really anytime during the day, too). My best friend is Baby, the cat. She lets me know when she’s had enough of me. My foster mom always puts me in charge of the cat and tells me she’ll be back. She’s true to her word, so I settle in with the cat until she returns. Another quirky thing I do is take kibble from my bowl and take it into the living room and drop it on the floor to eat now or later. I’m pretty good about cleaning up my mess. I do best with a fenced in yard. Otherwise I may wander away. My fosters do a good job of keeping me safe and happy. Oh, and I also travel well. I settle in for a nap until we get to our destination. My perfect forever home would be a home where there isn’t a lot of commotion. My fosters are retired and their kids have grown up and moved away so things are pretty calm around here. I like being the center of attention. I sound perfect, don’t I? Well, I am!

  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.
