ure her. She is a timid but very loving girl, and has blossomed in the time she has been in care. It turns out River has a malformed leg, and hip dysplasia (in both hips), which may lead to her being in a wheelchair at some point in her life but for now she is happy and mobile. River's perfect home would have at least one other dog and to have humans with a lot of patience, time, love and affection for her as she takes her time to open up to them. Once she does, she is a stage 5 clinger so ideally someone who is home often would be great. Her favorite toy is a snuffle ball and favorite activity is cuddling and sleeping near her humans. River’s foster mom had this to say about her: “She is the sweetest snuggliest girl. Very silly and gets quite excited. Great unique little personality when jealous. She loves her k9 companions and is very caring. No accidents in the home nor destructive behaviours. Just a sweet easy girl aside from her skittish behavior. She loves to take the clothes of her people and lay with them or on them“ River really needs another dog in her forever home as a companion and to help with her confidence. When meeting other dogs while loose and playing, she’s playful. On leash she can be more cautious River has been around young children She does not like their loud noises or fast movements. With some time and with considerate and dog savvy kids, she will eventually come around and will slowly allow pets and contact. River is cautious when meeting new people and can particularly be weary of men. With exposure she can become more comfortable over time. She first likes to circle and observe. River is quite skiddish and does not like loud noises and needs time to warm up with slow introductions. She is starting leash training with her foster mom. It took her quite some time to become comfortable walking on leash and enjoying it but she’s now starting to be more comfortable and will walk along side her foster fur sister. Crate trained âś… River is crate trained however she likes to sleep in bed with her foster mom and is not put in her crate when left alone as she is not destructive River does okay in the car It’s not her favourite place and she can become anxious if in the car without her people or her foster fur sibling. She has not shown any resource guarding of any kind including with toys, food, or treats. River is a low-medium energy girlie. She currently does water therapy at Puddle Paws Hydrotherapy and on days she has no therapy, she has 2 short walks. ADOPTION FEE: River’s adoption fee is fully sponsored THERAPY FEE: River’s water therapy is fully sponsored. Her continuing sponsorship of water therapy will be discussed with approved applicants. MEDICATION FEE: Her ongoing medication costs are: Metacam and Gabapentin, as needed River is being fostered in Orillia, ON

  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.
