ls in the yard. She is trying to instigate play with foster brother Robbie. She loves to cuddle and give kisses. She is not allowed in my bed because she sometimes gets nervous and pees in my bed. She will revert sometimes and claim things by peeing on them. I believe 2 times in the bed that is what she did was claiming part of my bed as hers and peed to claim it. Another time I think she got nervous and peed when Annabelle looked at her. If there is another dog in her forever household it needs to be a gentle dog who can accept her unfamiliar ways. With that said she is getting more doggie savvy. She is not so upset when dogs smell her or get close to her. She still does not like them to walk over to her but mine do that all the time. She really wants to play with another dog. She likes to tear open toys and loves squeaky toys. (I hate squeaky toys!) I took her to work the other day for a short visit and she hid under a chair the whole time. She is still afraid of new people. She has been bounced around enough so I want someone for her who understands she is different and will take some time. She enjoys life when she feels safe. Shiloh needs some younger dogs that play to be around to get that energy out of her. She had real attacks on a couple of the older dogs that tried to keep her in line, so she should be an only dog or one of a pack of calm even tempered laid back dogs. She has those typical "puppy mill" body issues like she has no idea what her back legs are doing sometimes, they are just sticking out sometimes (ie; not relaxing), used to not want to go in the crate but realized it is all about the food now. She is a very sloppy sitter. Does not feel comfortable sitting on the sofa with me for long, needs to get back on the floor after awhile, I don't know if it is because of the other dogs or she just does not relax. Hope it helps you figure her out. She is a pretty girl that has a good heart just fearful. With the right person she will blossom.

  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.
