tedly go for hours and she is an exceptional playmate. She will fetch her toy, drop it at your feet and never try to grab it back while you’re picking it up. She knows sit and lie down and seems to be very obedient and loving. She's super friendly, and we think she would be a wonderful companion for an active person who loves to play with their dog. We also think she would be great on hikes! From Bertha's Day Hike Volunteer: OK... Bertha. Noticeable improvement. We started on the side streets and worked our way back to the Chandler bike path. Bertha watches every dog, and if they bark, she'll bark. She will also occasionally bark if she doesn't like the look of a dog, but she mostly seems to be matching energy. I posted pics and a short video to IG and tagged the VBAS (link below). She is best described as Bertha: very important executive pup. She is highly focused, dedicated, passionate, and motivated. She is always on alert, ready to micromanage the most mundane task. But... after we walked off some of her energy (2%, tops), she was happy to sit under a shady tree in the cool dirt and just be in the moment. And she is a champ in the car. So great getting in and out, and an excellent traveller. Bertha, Bertha, Bertha. I have learned a lot from her. She's big, she's strong, and she's reactive to a lot of things. Therefore, I respect her needs and walk her on quiet side streets, keep other dogs 10 to 15 away, and avoid cyclists altogether. This strategy makes for a lovely, loose leash walking experience. She's happy, I'm happy, and the lovely folks we meet (sans dogs/bikes/scary things) are happy. We take our walks slowly, allowing her to sniff at her leisure. Most importantly, I have learned that you have to earn Bertha's love. Peyton mentioned that when she shows Bertha in the yard, she isn't interested in the humans (just throw the darn ball, already!). She's been at the shelter for 15 months, and humans are essentially part-time, temporary, and transactional. However, earn her trust, earn her love, and she'll open up and return that love. It's a wonderful experience.

  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.
