contact laurendeerewinfieldgmail for more information. He seems to be a little over a year old. He is very much in his teen years. He is scared of strangers at first, but after he gets a treat and decides he loves you, he just wants to be in your lap. He has not shown any signs of aggression to me or my husband. He met my parents and loved them instantly. He loves car rides and he walks on a loose leash. Since he is underweight, he is very food motivated but he has not offered to growl or react when I have been near/moved his food dish. He doesn’t bark or get riled up when my dogs are barking or crying inside the house. A stranger walked outside of our parked car the other day and he simply watched with interest instead of lunging at the window. In about 2 days he has learned that he needs to either potty on pee pads or wait to go outside. He learned the sit command in about 5 minutes and seems to understand that that is a more reliable way to get pets instead of jumping. I think this dog would be a huge couch potato. He just wants to be where his human is. The hard thing is that with the little amount of time we can spend with him, his excitement is over the top. It makes it very hard for him to settle down and almost impossible for him to try to get used to how to behave in a “house environment”. It is killing me to have him out there all alone with only small bursts of human interaction. I have tried to find him a home but I have no resources in the community. We desperately want to find him a foster family or rescue that can help him find a family of his own. We are willing to drive him to you. We are willing to pledge money to support his care. Can you please help us? This guy just needs a chance.

  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.
