Chatham, VA. I have this gorgeous blue-black coat and stunning blue eyes that make me look like I’m ready to conquer the world (or maybe just a tennis ball, but who’s counting?). I’m a Sagittarius, so I’m all about adventure, curiosity, and a little bit of mischief. I weigh in at a lean 45 pounds, and I’m definitely all muscle under this pretty fur. I’ll tell you something about me—I love to chase cats. It’s just in my Cattledog nature, so don't be surprised if you see me dart after one! As a Cattledog-Husky mix, I have the energy and drive to match, but once I’m done zooming around, I’m pretty chill. I have a bit of a rough-and-tumble streak, though—one time, I had a little tussle with my sister during dinner (don’t worry, we’re both fine, and it was her fault!). Now I have this adorable little droop in the corner of my right eye. It's really no big deal—just sibling rivalry, you know? I’ve been really good about not causing any trouble when it comes to food, but here’s the thing: I’m a “foodie.” I just love it so much! Although, you know... I'm a dog...so it's kinda our deal, ya know? Anyhoo, just make sure to feed all of the animals in your home separately and there should be no issues! When it comes to people, I can be a little timid at first, but I love to stick close and get all the attention. Sometimes I’ll even sneak off during meal times and wait until everyone’s done before I come back out. I’m super sweet and gentle when it comes to taking treats (I mean, who doesn’t love a snack, right?). I’m really well house-trained, and I get along with other dogs just fine—I even play and share with them like a champ! I think a home with kids would be fine with me. As long as they give me space and take my cues, we'll get along just dandy. Since I can be a little shy at first, kids with a ton of energy and no real spacial awareness wouldn't be super fun for me. So maybe older kids and/or kids that know how to interact with dogs...that would be the best scenario. I will say, I am a bit of an acrobat and a sprinter in one medium-sized furry pup body. I LOVE to climb and jump fences and once I do, just blink your eyes and I'm gone! So my people will definitely have to make sure their home is escape-proof because if not, see ya...wouldn't wanna be ya!! So that’s me in a nutshell: a beautiful, adventurous, sometimes goofy girl who’s a little bit shy, definitely athletic, but most important of all, I'm always ready to love. Looking forward to sharing my journey with you!

  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.
