d up as a stray in poor condition with bite wounds and scars all over. He was scared and shut down, keeping to himself in his kennel. The kennel that became his home for exactly one year when he was Euthanasia listed. October 8, 2024 - His one year anniversary celebrated at the shelter; celebrated with a time stamp on his life. Caden is safe. After a year and 3 days of living 23.5-24 hours in a kennel, he is finally free. It’s no surprise he is confused. After that long of constant barking and screams and confinement, he is not sure how to take this silence. But he is happy. He had the best sleep of his life and is just soaking it all in. What we know so far is he is sweet, gentle and has zero reactions to dogs. In fact, he seems to perk up when he is around one and is very appropriate with all the dogs he has met. Caden spends a lot of time sleeping in his crate. Even when left open, he chooses to lay and observe. He comes out for a quick hello and then right back in. He is in training since we did not know what to expect and so far, he has amazed us at what a super nice and resilient dog he is. The shelter did not break him one bit. He also has had zero accidents in the home or in his crate!!! Caden would love a home that will continue to show him what it means to be loved. We ask that he be in a home with older children only because we do not want him to get scared of sudden loud commotion while he still is learning that no one is going to hurt him. He has a very nice disposition with zero aggression to anyone or anything. He truly is an amazing dog. He is aged somewhere between 3-5 years old.

  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.
