y was seen by her vet recently and has a clean bill of health. She is an owner surrender secondary to long work hours and inability to provide her the love and attention she deserves. Sky is a “velcro dane” and loves her person! She will follow you throughout the house and is happiest when she can spend all day by your side. Sky is incredibly sweet but at times can be protective of her person and perhaps territorial of her eating space but that is easily fixed by feeding her separate :) She is slow to warm up to new people and will need patience initially, but ultimately is super affectionate and wants to snuggle all day long. Once you break down her barriers she is bonded for life! Sky is great with other animals and frequents Doggy Daycare weekly. She is great on the leash (running or walking!) and loves to go for car rides. Her favorite time is in the back of the car with the window down…perhaps because that means that she is with her person and not home alone ! Sky has exhibited some separation anxiety (she really does love her person!) and can cause a mess when left to her own devices. Trash cans unattended are her ultimate temptation! That being said, once a routine is established she does excellently and can go 8+ hours alone without needing to be put in a crate. Although her prior owner did not allow her on furniture, if given the choice she prefers couch and bed cuddles. Sky is a lifelong partner and protector for her next owner. Ideally her next owner would be someone who works from home or does not work long hours outside of the house, and does not have little ones walking around. Though she has experience with children and is always sweet, we feel her obsession with her food and being protective it is best not to risk young children in the home. Sky would be a great sibling and fit well into a house that has other dogs. She will need a large yard space for zoomies between her 6-8 hour long naps She is back with us looking for her forever home where she can thrive at her new owner's side!

  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.
