Lived With: Other dogs and kids Currently Living at: DC foster Special Adoption Considerations: Judge would do best in a home without young children or small dogs. Judge has also suffered a leg injury sometime in his past and is doing well with medications and rehab - his new family should be prepared to continue that. Meet handsome Judge! This sweet guy is a 6-7 year old Labrador mix, weighing in at approximately 55-60 lbs. Judge found himself at a shelter through no fault of his own and is now looking to be your new best friend! Judge can't wait to start a new, better life with someone who loves him. He is a happy, gentle, friendly boy ready for a new forever home! Judge is an older dog, but he still has that typical comedic lab behavior and energy, so his new adopters will need to provide him with plenty of exercise and playtime to keep him happy and healthy! Fun fact: Judge will lie on his back for everyone! Judge's new person or family will need to make sure he gets lots of socialization to keep up the good social skills he has already! And, like all dogs we adopt out, he'll need to go to obedience classes to build a strong bond with his people, and help him become a well behaved companion and family member. Judge seems to like all the people he meets, and can't wait to wiggle his way into your heart and home! Judge does well with other dogs, but he tends to be selective about which dogs he wants as friends. We haven't had the opportunity to test him with cats yet. If you have them, please let us know and we'll do our best to find out! Judge would make a great addition to an existing pack — or he'd love to soak up all the attention as an only dog! FOSTER UPDATE!! Judge is an awesome dog! Though he can be a bit pushy and rude, he is the most devoted, loyal, and loving dog you will ever meet! And when he gives you the sad eyes, he will melt your heart! He is very low key, has great house manners and is wonderful with children. He will be like your shadow and follow you everywhere, hoping to please you. His favorite place is snuggled up with you on the sofa or stretched out next to you for a nap. Skip the dog parks with Judge - other dogs' play-fighting makes him uncomfortable so he tries to intervene and stop them. He gets along well with his sibling fosters. Though he eventually gets grumpy with rambunctious dogs or dogs that try to dominate, he understands puppies and has a lot of patience for them. Please consider Judge if you are looking for an awesome best buddy, and can help him to continue to be his best self!! :) Like most shelter dogs, Judge may need a refresher on house-training. He is likely crate trained. 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.
