This is what his foster family had to say about him. Acorn is just the sweetest fellow. He settled so quickly into our house and routine. He loves to be with people and will snuggle up next to you or find a spot on the couch to relax and settle right in. He's been a great office buddy! He was inclined to mark when we first got him (post neuter surgery) but did great with belly bands. After a few weeks, we're no longer using the belly bands as he's doing his business consistently outdoors. He does not ask to go out so I take him out a couple times a day. He'll usually go potty when I tell him, especially if the other dogs are sniffing around too. He gets along very well with the other dogs in the home. He did not show any signs of aggression. Our little one is trying to teach Acorn to play. He's willing to go along with it. Acorn is not especially interested in toys. He is not picky about food at all and gets very excited when it's meal time. He will poke around at the other dogs' food but he's not territorial about his own space when he's eating. He took meds easily with pill pockets. Acorn LOOOOVES to go for walks. The first couple weeks, he would pull at the beginning of the walk and then settle in and walk nicely. Now that he has regular walks, he is less likely to pull. He can be reactive when he sees other dogs and we're working with him on that. He learned to sit on command very quickly so he's definitely trainable. He seemed to do well in the car. He is also very calm and patient with grooming (brushing and bathing). He's generally very easy going about anything going on in the household. He doesn't bark much and he will go into his pen with no fuss. The first couple nights, he barked for a bit in his pen but now he goes in there and goes right to sleep at bedtime. Acorn is just a great guy to have around. He would do well in a household with older kids or a couple or single person, as long as he has someone that will spend time with him and give him snuggles and scratches. He is affectionate with men and women equally. He'll be a wonderful addition to any household.

If you're looking to adopt a dog and don't know where to start, puppyfinder.com is an excellent source for information about adopting a dog and will connect you with hundreds of shelters across the US that have adoptable puppies and older dogs waiting for forever homes.

  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.
