s to be approached gently until you get to know him, but warms up quickly and responds very well to positive attention and good bacon treats. He will sleep through the night in his crate and likes to go to bed early as long as he gets play time and a walk. He needs supervision while he learns that shoes and other things aren't dog toys. He walks fairly well on a leash and also does well at the dog park, especially with the dogs. Unfamiliar people should approach him carefully and be around him awhile before touching him. Ripken does well with cats. He is working on learning basic commands and potty training. He occasionally has an accident in the house. If let out frequently and led to the right place in the yard, he does very well. He is a joyful little dog when you praise him. He would be best in a home where he isn’t left alone for long periods of time. He would enjoy being with another dog that is playful and/or a person who can give him lots of attention. He has some fear of children and should not be around young kids. He also has a bit of a Chihuahua personality and will do best with a family that will establish the boundaries so he feels he doesn't have to be in control. He can bark loudly at times when he sees other people or dogs outside the fence or when new people visit but he calms down quickly most of the time. or //

  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.
