odies. When their pictures were posted on Facebook, a kind lady went over to check on them and rescued them home. Immediately, Peggy was taken to an animal hospital for thorough physical checkup. Fortunately, those ticks and fleas didn’t infect her with any blood disease. Under necessary medical care, she grows up with a clean bill of health. Peggy is more a dominant type of puppy. She gets along well with other dogs and plays hard. She might be shy to meet a stranger but makes friend easily by giving her some treats. Although she is shy but will be cuddly after she gets to know you better. Like other puppies, Peggy is playful and an explorer. She enjoys being around with same age puppies but a little scared of big adult dogs. However, she warms up quickly to join the play if that dog is friendly with her. With Peggy’s age and size, she probably will grow into a Golden Retriever’s size. Therefore, taking her to attend puppy school is highly recommended to help her being more socialized.

  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.
