for Age: 1.5 years as of 11/16 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 60 lbs. Has Lived With: Other dogs Currently Living at: DC area foster Hi DC peeps. My name is Alegro, which means glad in English. It is perfectly fitting because as much as I love my home of Puetro Rico, it is time we have to leave to find a safer place for me. I am looking forward to exploring the mainland with you, and seeing my first snow fall this year! It might take me some time to get use to the cold, but at 60lbs, I should be able to handle it okay. The nice people in the shelter think I am some type of lab mix, and I would have to agree with them. What do you think? Like most shelter dogs, Alegro may need a refresher on housetraining. He is likely crate trained. Update from foster: He started out very shy but very curious. He is obsessed with my son- he follows him EVERYWHERE and whines when he leaves the house. But he is sooooo playful, and would be perfect with a yard/long walks/dog park. He gets along fine with our chihuahua, they don't even bother each other. He's a fast eater and slurpy drinker. He loves to cuddle and takes up the bed during nap time. He always just wants to be around us. He's a good boy, just needs a good place to run and jump around with someone. He knows how to sit and go in his crate when it's time. He comes when called. He is learning to use the potty OUTSIDE (a couple of accidents but he learned quickly that potty is for outside). Don't leave your socks around, he loves to slurp on them! The adoption fee for this dog is $350, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

  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.
