about 1 year of age and has a happy go lucky personality. He loves to run and play with other dogs and people…sometimes his youthful enthusiasm gets the better of him, though, so he would probably be best in a home without small children or elderly/easily annoyed pets. He has been very receptive to gentle training techniques as we work to reduce his undesirable puppy behaviors like jumping and biting at moving objects and seems to be a fast learner. Although he generally understands the concept of which toys are his to chew and which people things are off limits, he is still young and occasionally forgets the boundaries, so please set him up for success by keeping shoes and other belongings put away out of reach until he settles in. Gomer loves to be outside running and exploring and would probably be happiest in a rural setting with a large area to roam. When inside, he enjoys being rubbed, praised and hoarding his toys. He is also potty trained and only had one accident a few days after we found him. Other than a few days of slight toy aggression with our other dogs when we first took him in, he has shown no fear or aggression issues with people or dogs. He doesn’t mind being picked up, brushed or having his feet handled and rides calmly in a vehicle. He’s not perfectly obedient on a leash but is not wild or out of control either. He appears to have been well taken care of in his previous life and is pretty bonded to his traveling companion Pops but would probably adjust to a new life without him as long as he had other dogs to hang out with. Because of his high energy level and strong pack instinct, I don’t think Gomer would be suitable in a one pet home.

  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.
