one whose life you know only you can make better? Are you seeking to rescue a sweet, gentle soul who has been searching for a place to call home and people of his very own? Will you open your heart and home to this special fellow whose minor issues will be resolved with your love, companionship and patience? If so, then please consider Ernie. He is approximately 6 years old and an adorable scruffy kind of boy. We think he has a bit of terrier in him. He is extremely sensitive and would thrive in a home that is relatively quiet and laid back. He is fine with cats and other dogs as long as they are not too pushy or demanding. He will do everything in his power to avoid confrontations, but will let other dogs know when they've pushed him to the limit. If you have a mellow dog, Ernie would be great with it. Ernie enjoys going for walks as they broaden his horizons and bolster his confidence. He also enjoys basking in the sunshine. Ernie gets extremely animated at meal times (his) and when his people come home. He is crate trained and having one would help him adjust to a new home and routines. Ernie is very well mannered and understands basic commands. But, the terrier in him can make him a little stubborn! Nothing is known about Ernie's previous life before coming into rescue a year ago. The one thing we do know is he wants to be around his favorite person(s) as much as possible so a work at home, or retired person would be ideal. If interested in adopting Ernie, you need to realize he is not a wash and wear kind of guy. He will need to meet you, visit your home, have you take him for walks and possibly “daycare” him for an hour or two over the course of time so that he becomes quite familiar with you, your home and yard. Inquires can be directed to Delores at (775) 241-7210 or dmcgifford@charter.net.

  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.
