oss me out the window. It was late at night but the good samaritian got out to get me off the side the road. Then contacted the shelter. When I was thrown out the window, I had long matted hair. I was a bit skinny as well. So everyone realized that I was not well cared for. The shelter waited for my previous family to come forward to reclaim me. But lucky for me they did not. I was put out to rescues due to me being afraid. I growled and tried to bite because I was extremely confused and scared. The shelter can be a noisy place which did not help me relax either. Once in rescue it was quieter and I was allowed to relax. I was given time to become more comfortable. So I am slowly coming out of my shell. I walk great on a leash and have more confidence on the leash than off. I am allowing humans to pet me although I am still a bit timid. Currently I am not spayed. I have a mammary tumor that the vet thinks was infected. So I am on antibiotics. Once that is clear, I will have the tumor removed and will be spayed at the same time. The foster home has noticed that I am a bit reactive around my left leg but when I go back to the vet that will be looked at. I am looking for a quiet home where I will be given time to learn to trust again. I am not looking for an active home and preferably one with older children if there are kids. I am learning to relax while I am held. Being held is nice but I will not be asking to be held all the time. I have been able to explore the fenced in yard at the foster home without someone walking me on the leash but I am not playing or running. Smelling and walking are my speed. Then I come to the closest human and sit by them to watch the world pass. I am fine with small dogs as long as they are nice to me. I hope someone who will help me learn to trust again will find room in their heart and home for me. If interested in giving Winnie a forever home please complete an application at safeanimalhaven.

  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.
