rior owners failed to make the necessary changes to his dog house so that it was legal shelter. Upon examination at the shelter he was found to have "happy tail" and his tests also came back positive for heartworm. He was set to be euthanized when ODAAT committed to him. Once in our care he had surgery on his tail to remove what was dead and he also began his 4 week heartworm treatment. He was not symptomatic from the heartworm so a full long term recovery is expected. Bear is a highly active dog and would do best with an active family. He is a strong prey drive and will follow his nose. For those reasons he will need a secured fenced in yard. He has been extremely successful with house training and will whine when he needs to go out. He is also crate trained and leash trained but does pull on a leash and is still working on those skills. He will ride well in the car as long as he is crated. In Bear's prior life he was not fed on a consistent basis, so he is treat and food motivated. We do not suggest young or small kids for him as he is still learning manners when it comes to food. These manners will need followed through with to be successful. Prior to his medical treatments he did well with the other large dog in his foster home. Due to his activity level restrictions during treatment, they have been kept separated because we want Bear to make a full recovery without complications. The Humane officer that was on the property of his former owner stated that he did have contact outside with the small dogs there and did not seem to mind them, he was only interested in human contact. Bear has made many improvements since being in foster. He craves attention and affection. He does take a little time to warm up to people but once he feels he can trust them, its over :). He loves to get rubs and stare up at you with puppy dog eyes. He will need a home with love and patience, one that will continue to work with him and provide him with the exercise he was robbed of over his young years. Please apply at www.onedogatatime.us

  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.
