While they can be determined and sometimes strong-willed, they’re also incredibly loyal and loving. A terrier mix thrives on affection and stimulation, and they make spunky, devoted companions who never let life get boring. Toto’s Story & Personality: Toto’s story is one of strength, recovery, and heart. After being abandoned and hit by a car, Toto arrived at Crisis Dogs NC in rough shape—paralyzed and badly injured. But this tiny fighter has come a long way. He’s regained much of his mobility, can climb stairs, and loves exploring the yard just like any other dog. While he may move a bit more slowly and wear diapers due to incontinence, Toto doesn’t let that stop him from being affectionate and happy. His foster describes him as a “total lovebug” who always wants to be close to his person. He’s dog selective, so any canine housemates should meet him first to ensure a good match. Toto is looking for a patient, understanding adopter who can accommodate his physical needs and give him the love and comfort he deserves.

  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.
