herd and Staffordshire mixed in. Honey would be best in a home with strong alpha humans, consistent but loving, and no small children or small dogs. Honey would love human companions that allow her on the sofa to be a lapdog, on the bed to sleep at night. She has many of the very best lab/mastiff qualities when she is relaxed- a sweet companion, loving and attentive, smart, playful but not hyper, calm when all her people are gathered around. She is easy to train, very food motivated and compliant with appropriate guidance. Honey loves to rough house with her big foster brother (125 lbs) and tolerates some really brave cat siblings. If they run, she will chase, but they've seen a foster or two and know her game. Honey is fully housetrained with a consistent, reliable potty schedule set by her humans. Honey is fairly dominant and needs her big foster brother to show her when to back off on the growly play. Little dogs seems to make her nervous and too aggressively curious. She has been living in a busy household, but the physical energy and in/out the door of little kids makes her anxious and inappropriately protective. She is not fond of a crate, but will crate and cooperate with a peanut butter-filled bone. Honey is very protective of her people. She barks loud and long at UPS delivery, people walking along the street, and anyone that comes to the door that she doesn't know. Introductions of new people must be carefully managed, with a routine and lots of treats from the new person. Honey can't tell us her whole story, but we think her life was unpredictable and a little scary. Her human Mama surrendered her when she lost her home. We think they may have lived in a car for a period of time, as Honey is always checking out vehicle doors to see who is getting out. She can be quirky and has a nighttime habit of being very grumpy if you try to move or adjust her after she has rolled into her little ball on the bed. She has had loving but consistent reinforcement to change this behavior.

  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.
