est in choosing a home that best suits each dog and his/her needs and personality. Fostered in Michigan Cheeto is a little lovebug. He is just slow to warm up to new people. His initial greeting is a growl but once he knows you, he is Velcro.. He loves to snuggle and loves belly rubs. He loves it so much that he does not like to share. He has a tendency to guard your lap and must be set down to give others a chance when he gets too pushy. He is active & spunky. He will fetch a toy, play tug or chew on a chew toy. He loves car rides and walks but tends to be territorial and vocal in the car and on leash. He will need more work on the leash reactivity. He would do best in a home without small children as he tends to be very mouthy when he plays. He would not mind being an only dog. Although he gets along with some dogs, he does best with female dogs that are playful and aren’t bossy. He tends to be very bossy himself. He is crate trained and generally does well when left but probably would not be happy left daily for long periods of time. He is still working on his house training. He came with a habit of marking and is not giving it up easily. He wears a belly band when I can’t watch him closely. He is accustomed to wearing clothing and looks extremely cute in whatever he wears with his short, stumpy legs, quizzical expression and tousled red hair!

  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.
