ke a young pup I rescued 3 months ago in a high-kill shelter. I told my friend she must be kidding because I personally sent Ella to a very nice family and they promised to love her forever. Not until I saw the picture on the shelter’s website, I’d never believed she was abandoned. When I went to the shelter, I saw Ella scared and trembling at a corner. Looking at her skinny, fragile body, I held my tears, softly calling her name. She seemed remembering me and slowly pasted toward me with wagging tail. At that moment, I could hold my sorrow anymore! It took quite sometime for Ella to recover from malnutrition. With God’s blessing, she still keeps her sweet and easy going temperaments to welcome all creatures and being happy around with people, children and dogs. Perhaps she was abandoned twice; she is scared to be left alone for long hours. Eventually she whines a little and falls asleep if no one is home. Ella is very affectionate to people. She is playful outside and clam staying at home. She is very playful with dogs and hardly being the alpha one. Ella is housebroken. She can do potty outside and on a potty pad inside the house. After intensive care, Ella has a clean bill of health. She is ready to move on for a forever 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.
