his name! Gussy's mission in life is to be your companion and to sit in your lap. In fact, Gussy will paw at you until such lap is available, so resistance is futile :-) Although this sounds like a great match for a sedentary person, Gussy also loves to walk and purposefully trots on a leash to keep up with the foster and canine friends. He sometimes starts barking as an alert but overall is not a barker. He is working on his house training and sometimes uses a belly band so he can follow his foster around the house. Gussy is smart and will likely learn well if kept on a schedule. He keeps his kennel clean during the day while his foster mom is at work, and sleeps with his humans through the night without an accident. He gets along with dogs - large and small - but strongly prefers humans. Check out his video of chasing his foster mom around the house with the rest of the pack. Gussy is missing all his teeth - but not his appetite. The little man can eat and eat, and could benefit from gaining just a bit more and building some more muscle. His thyroid needs a bit of help with daily meds, and it's very easy to put it a tiny half-pill into his food dish and he eats it up at breakfast and dinner. His coat is growing back nicely with thyroid meds, too. Because of Gussy's diminutive stature, we recommend that his forever home does not have small children. In his current foster home, Gussy enjoys hanging out with his 4-year-old dog-savvy human sister (see their picture), but if a child does not understand or cannot be relied upon to be careful and gentle, Gussy is too fragile for such situations. Gus would make a great addition in a calm household without too much coming and going - and a lot of cuddling on the couch.

  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.
