Ricardo's guardian offers the following: "Ricardo is the ultimate snuggling companion! He curls up next to his favorite humans and is content to be your couch mate for hours on end. He is very social and loves to play with tug and chew toys. He does need a good daily walk to help with his energy but he's got a nice mellow presence overall. He knows basic commands 'sit', 'down', 'come'. He is fine and enjoys the car. He dislikes/fears fireworks." Ricardo's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "He has attacked my cat on several occasions." Bite/Scratch/Attack Incident: On 1 November 2023, Ricardo attacked the resident cat; the skin was not broken and animal control was not involved. Ricardo's guardian explains: "I have had to keep Ricardo and the cat completely separated due to his attacking her. She recently entered a room where he was able to get to her and had her pinned down, trying to bite her. I was able to pull him off her." Ricardo's guardian states the following regarding children: Ricardo hasn't lived with or otherwise been around young children, so his guardian doesn't recommend him living with young children, stating: "He is very curious when he sees young children." Ricardo's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Ricardo hasn't live with or otherwise been around dogs, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with dogs, stating: "He is reactive to other dogs and will quickly become aggressive." Ricardo's guardian states the following regarding cats: Richardo lives with a cat so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats, stating: "He is aggressive with cats." Ricardo's guardian describes him as: Very active Affectionate Always at your side House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Separation anxiety Ricardo's guardian describes his ideal future home: "He should be placed in a home with no other dogs, cats, or young children.

  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.
