e best in choosing a home that best suits each dog and his/her needs and personality. Fostered in Michigan Gilbert is an Alpha dog and has all the Xolo traits that should be understood as this is a primitive / ancient breed. He is loyal and protective of his domain including his toys and food. He does not get along with my big dogs. He scares one so bad she will run the other way if she see s him or Albert. The other dog is a PIO which has many of the same traits and they are also an ancient breed . My PIO dog is three times bigger and very happy to mix it up with the boy. I have to keep them seperated so they do not get hurt. They do get along with the small dogs. Gilbert is very loving and affectionate. He love s people and gets so excited to see us come home from work. He wiggles so much I think he is going to break in half. Along with the wiggles and jumping, he barks till you pick him up or he calms down. He loves his toys and will drag them around and often leaves them outside to be found the next day and dragged back into the house. The two boys sleep together or fight over the same spot. I never know where they slep t till I get up in the morning. When they get very excited they can go off on each other and I have to break it up. O ne minute later they are best friend and are always together. He is a great fan of "catch me if you can game" , when I need them to go out side to pee. It is mostly, game on, when I need them to go, not when they need to go out. He has only had a few accidents in the house and does well with house training. When he first came they peed everything but after a few weeks it has stopped and he is doing great. I have not found any markings on anything. He is UTD on shots and neutered. He is heartworm neg. and on monthly heartworm preventative. If interested in Gilbert contact Suzanne Yancey at crestedsbcglobal

  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.
