s dogs to humans, but we feel there is a home out there that will be a perfect fit for him. He is crate trained, housetrained, and his foster mom says he must have a fenced yard or if he takes off you will never get your hands on him. He is only a baby, so still has plenty of time to learn, but we are loving all the changes in his life and feel good things will happen in his future. Do you have a fun dog that would be willing to serve as Bobby's mentor? Please consider him! Long ago..... We reached a turning point today with Bobby. After spending a month tossing him treats, earning his trust, plumping him up, it was time. Today we put a leash around Bobby’s neck and told him it was time to see the world. Did he like it? Initially no, he did not. He gator rolled, he chewed at the leash, he tried to back out, but finally, he resigned himself. He was going to learn to walk on a leash! He was dealing with someone as stubborn as he was. When he got out onto the grass, he looked like a new dog! You would’ve thought I was killing him if you had heard him yowling at the injustice of it all. We repeated the exercise a few times, and within a short time, Bobby accepted stroking, ear scratching, and removal of his leash without snarkiness. A new world awaits him! We can only imagine what Bobby's beginnings must have been, because he is so incredibly distrustful and unsure of humans! He is learning that yummy treats come his way because of us, but that is all he can vouch for thus far. Whew! He is one challenging boy!

  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.
