ere case of a noncontagious skin disease that made her sickly looking and unattractive. However, her infectious spirit and personality was noticed by the staff there who named her Hope and she quickly became one of their favorites. Throughout her time at the shelter, she was passed over time and time again by potential adopters. She just couldn’t compete with the other dogs whose appearance wasn’t marred by disease. Finally, it was decided by the shelter that they could keep her no longer. Her trip down the doggie green mile would come to an end the next day, but on this, the last day of her life, a volunteer there heard what was to happen and said, “No it isn’t!” With the help of Dogs 2nd Chance, Hope was rescued from the shelter and given the best veterinary care available. After he vet exam, she was taken to the volunteer’s home to recuperate. Here, she thrived and her appearance began to slowly recover. She had joined 4 other dogs in a home more suitable for 2 dogs, but her addition to the household only enhanced the amicable atmosphere that was there. She quickly became a surrogate big sister to one of the pups there. Nap time found them sleeping together snuggled against each other. Now her hair has largely returned and her strikingly handsome appearance resembles a mix of Labrador Retriever and Hound . She’s a very affectionate and playful dog. She loves attention, loves to be petted especially with belly rubs. At peak energy levels, she can be a little rambunctious, but responds well to the “No” command. She does great with other dogs and with people, she never met a stranger. She can be a playmate for kids and she can be a lap baby for couch potatoes. As was once said, “Without hope there's no point to anything.” Please give Hope a chance! dogs2ndchance.org/adoption-application-form Thank you for considering adopting a new family member. Most of our adoptable dogs live inside foster homes.

  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.
