ecial/Medical Needs: Fear Energy Level: High Dash is a young neutered male, smaller border collie X (maybe purebred) who's 19" and approx 30 lbs. He loves his food, treats and toys and has a healthy appetite which is good considering he was quite thin when he was first rescued. Dash appears shy at first and may take a while to open up to new people. He loves the company of others dogs (hasn't met a dog he didn't like and thinks all dogs should be his friend) and is very good with cats. Having a canine buddy around increases his confidence and helps with his separation anxiety. An ideal home would be a quieter adult only home (or older teenagers) with a canine buddy, someone who has patience and is dog savvy or willing to attend classes. It's likely that Dash was abused at some point in his short life since he is nervous with men, especially men making sudden movements. Dash does not bark when strangers come to the door, however, will be vocal if left alone without another dog or human. He sleeps overnight in his crate in his foster's bedroom which makes him feel secure. This boy is mostly house trained but does have the occasional accident. He has learned a few basic command such as come, sit, down, kennel. He walks nicely on a leash once he's comfortable with you. His foster mom will continue working with him until he is adopted. If not given an outlet to burn off energy and appropriate toys and chews, he will happily make up his own rules which also includes chewing on your prized possessions. Once comfortable with you, he will snuggle under the covers or hang out chilling on the couch. Working with Dash has been a real joy, watching him flourish and come around from the very timid dog he was when he arrived in Texas. His fosters would love to keep him but having three dogs and three cats means Dash should find a "furever home".

  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.
