ne/adoption-process/ for more information about our adoption process and to submit an online application. Meet Ginger, a shy but extremely sweet 1 year-old Lab mix female with beautiful brown highlights throughout her coat but especially on her legs. Ginger found herself homeless at an overcrowded rural county dog shelter so made the trip to Canine Lifeline so she would be able to relax in a foster home while searching for a permanent new home. Although she’s quite shy initially when meeting new people, Ginger warms up quickly once she knows someone wants to be her friend. She loves to be around other dogs so would do best in a home with a canine pal or two to help boost her confidence and show her the ropes in her new home. A secure aboveground fenced yard would also be ideal for her given her shyness. Ginger has had excellent crate manners in her foster home so should be able to pick up the house rules quickly in her new home. Walking on a leash is still a work in progress for Ginger as it’s likely that was something she had never experienced before coming to the shelter. She tends to stay close to the ground and wind around her walker’s legs but with more practice and following the lead of another dog, she is sure to be walking like a pro in no time. Ginger weighs about 46 pounds and her adoption fee is $250. She’s spayed, heartworm negative and on monthly preventative, up to date on vaccinations including bivalent canine influenza, wormed, on flea preventative, and microchipped. All Canine Lifeline adoptions come with a two-week adjustment period to make sure it’s a great match before the adoption is finalized. Please email infocaninelifeline if you’re interested in Ginger. An approved application is required before we schedule meets with any of our dogs. We have no foster homes with young children so aren’t comfortable placing any of them in a home with children less than 7 years of age. We try to respond to inquiries within 72 hours so if you haven’t heard from us within that time frame, please check your junkmail or spam folder to make sure our reply hasn’t landed in there. Please visit our website at .caninelifeline to see more photos of Ginger and to submit an online application.

  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.
