We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting. ***** Phoebe is 6yo, weighs 62lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, but is not microchipped. Phoebe's guardian adds: "Phoebe is extremely loyal, protective, and cuddly. She listens very well and is super smart. She requires to be the apple of someone’s eye and should be. She can be friendly to other dogs but not all. You can see Phoebe in action on instagram phoebe_and_andre we love her so much and hoping to find her a loving home. She is happiest when she is center of attention, loves snuggles all day, loves to sleep in the bed and be under blankets. She is a protective and proud companion. She listens very well. She knows: sit; stay; gentle; down; jump; shake; come - she loves to be right by your side, rarely runs away when off leash; other hand (shake with left paw); go home (which is her designated spot on the couch or her dog bed." Phoebe's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her: "We are hoping there is a home better suited for our girl Phoebe. She absolutely loves attention and playing, but we have a 1 year old boy with another baby on the way, and has a bit too much jealousy energy around little children. She does great when she is the center of attention, so she would need to be rehomed to a place without children." Phoebe's guardian states the following regarding children: Although Phoebe lives with a 1yo child, her guardian doesn't recommend her living with young children, stating... "Children are the reason for rehoming Phoebe. We love our girl but she has made it very clear that she feels displaced by the big change in our household. We have a one year old and another a newborn on the way. She whines more frequently, shows nervousness when around children, and has no spatial awareness. She shows jealous tendencies when attention is being given to baby." Phoebe's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Phoebe doesn't live with dogs, but her guardian recommends her living with dogs, stating... "Phoebe loves other dogs and is very playful but it can be hit or miss. Some dogs find her threating and escalation can occur. She stays at a "free range" boarding place when we go out of town. There are 30+ dogs at times. She has always had a great report card. We have also taken her to dog parks in the past where tussles have occur but nothing severe. Phoebe loves small dogs in particular. She regularly visits with a maltipoo. they play all day and love each other.I will say, she is NOT good with other dogs when she is on a leash. Per her breed, she is very protective. In short, because phoebe loves companionship, I believe with the right dog she would be very happy to have a companion but it would have to be a dog that is not threatened by her or escalates easily." Phoebe's guardian states the following regarding cats: Phoebe lives with a cat, so her guardian recommends her living with cats, stating... "Phoebe loves our cat, Andre! They have their own instagram because they are such great buds. Albeit, Andre is a very calm kitty, I think that helps. Phoebe has lived with a previous cat who was a bit of a grouch and they just avoided each other. Andre is a snuggle bug and they sleep together and play fight. Phoebe and Andre playing - .jotform/uploads/LizLance/81263856341155/5863336631227940079/PhoebeandAndrePlaying.mp3 Phoebe's guardian describes her as: Very active Couch potato Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Fearful Protective House-Trained Likes men Likes women Phoebe's guardian describes her ideal future home: "I believe Phoebe would thrive in a home with NO small children. A home where she will be loved as a "girlfriend" dog. Someone's snuggle pal and number one companion that takes her on plenty of walks. Someone who loves to sleep with her in the bed. I think of a youthful person (20s -30s year old) looking for companionship. Perhaps a family but with older teenage kids that could handle a big strong girl."

  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.
