e was untrusting and scared of new people at first, but now she is a great guard dog if I'm not around, even though she is a hound. She doesn't want to be in a dog pen, doesn't really want to ride in a vehicle, but wants to follow as if she doesn't want to be abandoned. She gets very excited when we come home, wrinkling her nose, and her hound bark is sweet. Maddie has been with us since April 2004. We had to eventually put her on a 20 foot lightweight chain, since she has gotten out of our perimeter fence several times, and will lay on the road, even with vehicles driving by, and won't let us come near her when she is on the road. She is also very intelligent. She won't get in a live trap or crate anymore, knowing that's how we caught her before, so if she gets out anymore, the only thing that will bring her back through the gate is a storm. We don't have a dog pen strong enough to keep her in yet, so she is right outside our front door, which gives her more social interaction with us as we go in and out. The last few times she has gotten off her chain, she has stayed on the property, so having more interaction with us each day has made a difference. She has a large fancy wooden dog house that was donated, and we fill it with cedar shavings for her to sleep in. March 2005, I had leashed her for a few walks, and it is as if she has been leash trained before. She would walk directly beside me on the left side. D.O.B.: ? 2002 Weight: about 50 pounds $60 adoption fee will pay for her spay and vaccinations.

  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.
