while since he's seen the inside of a cage. He was surrendered a few years ago when his family could no longer care for him and his canine housemate. He's back again and we'd like to find him a home where he will get lots of walks, lots of cuddles and lots of love. It seems Chip might choose his one person and that person becomes his life. He might be indifferent to others but def shows love to his person. I approached him slowly with my leash and he allowed me to slip it over his head. I could tell he was nervous so I didn't reach out to him. I did offer treats but he declined. We walked outside and he remained cautious, observant of everything going on around him. He sat for treats when we were away from the shelter grounds. He def was more comfortable at that time. His serious expression (that face!) drew me in as he slowly warmed up to me and even took some treats. Chip is house trained and bc he is experienced at living in a home, he can be trusted to roam free while left alone. Chip is said to be good with kids but does need proper introductions. He doesn't like it when strangers just reach out to him, even if it is a hand for him to sniff. Keep your hands to yourself! He can sniff you fine without that reach. Chip is easy on a leash, loves to go for walks and loves plush toys. He needs to be muzzled at the vet. Chip is currently in a back kennel so if you are interested, come in and ask to meet him.

  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.
