the comfort of home or family. Our team in SC was monitoring her situation, as she was going long periods of time without food and water...Her owner would drop by to throw stale bread on the ground for her, and her pen was filthy and there was no access to fresh water. Animal Control was called in and thankfully they removed Tilly from that terrible place. Tilly is one of the lucky pups who was saved very young from a life of isolation and neglect, and as a young pup, she can quickly put that life behind her. Tilly is in foster care now learning the rules of home life. She's already crate trained, is working on her potty training, and does pretty well on leash. We've already discovered she's good with other dogs, likes to play ball and is timid, but hungry for love and attention. More info to come as we learn more about this sweet girl. BREED ESTIMATE: Mutt Mix (Terrier/Italian Greyhound) GENDER: Female APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: 32 APPROXIMATE AGE: 10 - 11 months COAT TYPE: Short ADOPTION FEE: $350 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/spayed/on monthly preventatives.

You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to http://foster.ddbnova.org and fill out an application. Dogs Deserve Better of Northern Virginia is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area.

  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.
