: spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm-lyme negative and maintained on preventatives Claire is an adorable, goofy, active little people pleaser. She *ADORES* other dogs & is seeking a furever home with another active doggie buddy(s) to share her adventures with. Claire is housetrained using a dog door & crate trained too... though she would much prefer a spot in the "big bed" at night. She is good with small critters & humans of all kinds, though a quieter home with school-age (+5 years) or older children would be best. Claire walks well on a leash & is working on some special tricks like "sit & "shake". An adopter that will commit to continued training and perhaps even puppy classes with a trainer would be very beneficial to help her gain confidence & continue on the right path. If you think Claire is the dog for you, please fill out an adoption application today! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Claire is available for adoption through K-9 Rescue of the Eastern Shore. An adoption process is required to include filling out an online adoption application available at the following link: http://www.k9rescuees.org/forms/form_humanverify?formid=4070, veterinary and personal reference checks and a home visit are required prior to being approved to adopt. Non-local adopters are welcome! If you have questions, please e-mail the following: K9RescueES@gmail.com Please note, all of our rescue members are volunteers with many obligations. While we may not be capable of immediate response, we will respond to all inquiries and application submissions as soon as possible. Thank you for thinking adoption! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE (for those over 65) -- As part of the application process, K9-ES asks that you provide a back up caretaker. Dogs are family & we want a human family member to step-up to take your new best friend in the event you are no longer able to care for him/her.... not for the dog to find themselves homeless once again in their declining years. We all know that life happens, so those under the age of 65 are also highly encouraged to think about a back-up plan for your animals BEFORE you potentially find yourself unable to care for them. On the application, there is a "comments" section where you can list the backups name, email address and phone number. Please fill that in as completely & specifically as possible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More about Claire... - Available for Adoption - tan & white, smooth coat - Current Size: 18 Pounds - Good with Dogs - Good with older children - Housebroken - Up-to-date with vaccines

  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.
