ke sure they are all well and waiting for me to come by. But that night was a little different. A new dog showed up, he merged into the group easily, wagging his tail to welcome me. He must be starving for quite some days that didn’t want to share the food with other dogs. So I had to feed him away from others. Then everything went fine. After meal, all dogs left as usual except this little one kept following me around. From his collar and clean fur, I could tell he was newly abandoned. From his submissive and housetrained behaviors, he probably had good life but for some reason to end up on the street. I tried to post him on Facebook and took him around to look for his master. Few months past, no one came to claim him. Well, it didn’t bother me at all because Ivan is truly a very lovable and cuddly dog. He is friendly with dogs, children and people. Every time we walk out, he always carries a sweet smile to welcome strangers and make friends easily with most of creatures. Ivan has a clean bill of health. And now he is ready for a permanent 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.
