r called him, or even why he ended up a stray picked up by animal control in Kentucky before he was brought in by a rescue in Pennsylvania. But, some things are obvious about Aiden. 1) Aiden is ageless. He's been placed at 4, 6, 8 -- no one can be certain. He moves around like an old man, he can't hear very well, his sight is a little cloudy, and he has a cough that will never fully go away due to some scarring from a bad case of pneumonia. But, he lights up with a new toy, or a new human. Or snow. 2) Aiden loves snow. He runs at full speed back and forth in the yard at his foster home. Maybe the cold does something for his bones and joints, maybe it just makes him feel like a puppy again. 3) Aiden loves children. He has natural protective and herding instincts and relaxed immediately in the presence of his high energy three year old human foster sister. Her gift offerings may have helped. 4) He loves soft things: blankets, rugs, pillows, and especially stuffed animals. 5) At some point, Aiden was loved. Before he had to survive on the streets, he had been trained and was attentive to an owner. He knows how to play fetch, how to "drop it" and how to "sit". He probably knows a lot of other things too, for the right person to bring back out in him. 6) Aiden deserves to be loved again. This is the most obvious thing about him when you meet him. Aiden deserves to spend the second half of his life truly loved. He doesn't seem to care about cats and can take or leave a dog as long as they don't get in his face, but against all odds, Aiden absolutely adores people. Small children aren't too much for him. Strangers are welcome to become friends. He just wants to be where the people are. He wants to cuddle up to a movie or a good book. He wants to lay under a desk while you work, or go for a walk when you have a break. Above all, he just wants you. And after the unknowable life he's lived, he deserves to be wanted, in return.

  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.
