d has started treatment for the heartworms. Her foster home has lots of other animals that include cats, other dogs big and small, and even a Pot Bellied Pig! She is great with all of them as well as with children. She loves her humans, big and small, boy or girl. She loves the outside and loves to do zoomies. She is a Little Miss Smartypants and knows how to open the gate, but it’s just to show off because she doesn’t go anywhere and wants to stay close to her humans. ShyAnn is very shy when it comes to new people and situations, and it seems that before her foster home, she never lived inside as she is not so comfortable in the house, but that is getting better! She will pace around a good bit, but will eventually settle on a blanket or a doggy bed. She can counter surf with the best of them, but her foster mom has started training to teach her to stay out of the kitchen. She does not get on the furniture, and has only had two accidents (pretty good for a doggie who has never lived in the house!). She likes her crate for safety and comfort and to eat, but doesn’t like to be in it for too long. If any of the other animals, like the pig, are in it, she is glad to share it. She is afraid of loud noises. She is doing well with her leash training and now even wags her tail a bit on walks instead of keeping it tucked. She is a VERY curious girl. Everything is so new to her, but she is blossoming into such a wonderful sweet girl and just needs a family that will have patience with her and give her the confidence she needs. Please contact Great Dane Friends (info@greatdanefriends.com) for more information about this pet. *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions. We require a fenced yard (exceptions made on a case by case basis - NO exceptions for puppies or deaf/vision impaired dogs - no invisible fencing), that stairs in the home be covered with some sort of slip resistant material to prevent injury, that all other animals in the home be up to date on vaccinations as well as spayed/neutered and that all dogs live inside as a part of the family. Our approval process consists of an application, vet and reference checks, phone interview and house check. Please email us for an application or if you have any questions.*****

  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.
