little bit to warm up, but when I do I love to play fetch and tug! Also, I love to chase and play with other dogs! I'm quite a goofy guy to have around, I'll make you laugh all the time! And oh boy do I love good scratches and cuddles! I also know some basic obedience commands like sit, down, and how to walk nicely on a leash. I'm also crate-trained; however, I do well free roaming through the house. My recall is getting much better. My foster mom thinks after I bond with you I won't hesitate coming back to you. I'm working on more commands like stay and heel. I'm a smart guy, and my foster mom thinks it won't take long for me to master them. I am a little shy, so I need to work on my confidence in new places. When I go to new places after being there for about 15 minutes, I go potty. Good news though, if I do go potty it's only 2 or 3 times and very little amounts. After that I shouldn't go potty inside the anymore. Going to new places, like doggy daycare or pet stores, is something that can help boost my confidence. It would serve a double purpose - not only would you be able to boost my confidence, you could also work on my training. I'd love for my new family to have another dog. Although it's not a must, I love to play with other dogs. I also need a family who is willing to continue to work on my training and confidence. Taking a training class would be helpful to both of us to learn more. I hope you will come meet me and see that I'd fit right into your home!

  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.
