Unknown, but likely older kids ok Special/Medical Needs: no Energy Level: low Adoption Fee: $650 Foster Home Location: Cranbrook, BC Beans (Bebe) is such a sweet girl. She came to me extremely terrified and would not leave the crate for 4 days. Once we got outside, she really started to relax! She loves to wander around the yard and sniff things out. She loves having other dogs around to watch and play with. We haven't been able to venture outside the yard yet, as a lot of things are still spooky for her but she has come such a long way in just a few days. I think that with a good, safe home she will be an incredible pup! I would absolutely be keeping her if I didn't have to go away for an extended time coming up soon. She is mostly afraid of people. She does not like to be walked up to or approached face-to-face. She will cower away. If you walk towards her with your back/side to her, she will let you approach without running away. Now that she trusts me when I sit in the yard she will come and lay directly behind me. In the house she likes to tuck herself away in corners but now she always tucks herself into the corner right beside me instead of across the house. When I go upstairs, she will follow and watch everything I do but does still like to stay 1-2 meters away. She always does her bathroom business outside, sleeps in her crate at night without a peep, and sleeps in her crate when I'm out of the house. I have never heard her bark. She has never shown any aggression at all. When she is in the comfort of my backyard, she will walk calmly with the leash on. But when she feels unsafe, she likes to lay down or try to run away from what is scaring her. She loves other dogs so far and seems to feel more relaxed around people, when other dogs are around. I have not seen her around cats or kids. I would not have any concerns with aggression to kids, but if they want to play and pet her energetically, they may be overwhelming for her in this initial part of finding her place in her forever home. Because of how traumatized/anxious she was when she arrived, it has taken a lot of time and love to get her to this point. But she has improved so quickly! I have zero doubts that she will be an incredible pup if she can find a home with stability, consistency and love!

  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.
