treats?" St. Patrick is a highly affectionate and clumsy little goofball who's chock full of quirks. He'll trip over and fall off things just from the excitement of seeing you. He loves to show off to make you proud and even taught himself crawl, which is beyond adorable. He also sits side-saddle and only likes to roll over in one direction and will sit on your feet for kisses. He loves playing fetch and working on puzzle toys - any sort of work-learning seems to please him the most. He has lots of energy to burn and likes to put it to work learning and playing. Very attentive and eager to please, St. Patrick picks up new tricks in a hurry. Sometimes he's so focused on performing that he will "sit," "down" and "shake" in quick succession just to get your attention. While learning "place," he was so excited that he sat on the edge of the platform before he was all the way on, tried to recover, then rolled right on off. St. Patrick is learning all these new tricks in APA!'s Total Obedience Program (TOP), which is modeled after the AKC's Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. As a TOP dog, St. Patrick has a personalized training plan and works with a volunteer trainer several times a week to help him learn the skills to become the best dog he can be! He is learning skills like walking nicely on leash, sitting calmly when approached by strangers or other dogs, staying in a sit or down until told "free," coming when called and "Place", which means he will go to a specific place in your home on command. St. Patrick is working hard to become a wonderful companion, and as a part of APA's Total Obedience Program you can work with APA staff to continue to build a training relationship with him after adoption and master all the TOP dog skills together. Check out a video on APA's CGC program, on which the TOP was based: vimeo/89434193 St. Patrick's loving eyes, big smile and stellar personality are sure to win you over. He genuinely seems to thrive on the laughter and praise he gets from his people. If he had a yard to romp in and show off his skills and goofy antics, he'd be the happiest guy in the world. Come meet this amazing pup!

  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.
