teer Linda for 4 weeks as he recovered from heartworm treatment. Tank is now ready for his new life to begin! Here is what Linda has to say about living with Tank: “Tank is a sweet, smart and happy boy almost all of the time. He loves to be near you even when he is taking a nap. He loves to go on walks or just sit outside in the sun. He rides nicely in the car. Each time we had company, our friends kept saying what a wonderful dog he is. The same with people we meet on walks. Tank has his triggers and becomes very excited at those times. His triggers are other dogs he sees on walks, sometimes cars and if you try to take away a large high value treat he has hidden. He needs training for the first two and we can just leave the treats where he has hidden them. He has never shown any resource guarding with his regular meals or small treats. Regarding other dogs, a few times he was sweet to other dogs in the kennel, and I saw him walk with another dog, so I do think he will respond well to training. Occasionally when he’s dozing off, he just wants his space and will let you know with a low growl. He loves belly rubs, snuggling under blankets and playing with toys especially his neon colored bats. Tank keeps his crate clean but I put belly bands on him in the house. He accepts the bands very well and they are very easy to put on. I may have jumped to conclusion about the need for belly bands as his first day he peed in the house. It may have been a first day thing claiming his space. I have tried a few times without the bands and so far so good. I use a harness because he pulls when excited. A younger or stronger person should have no trouble (I’m 80 w lots of arthritis), but I always like to use a harness anyway. I had fostered Tank for 4 weeks and he was very happy here - and I with him. I wish I could keep him but unfortunately I can’t. I do love him. Won’t you consider making this boy part of your family? Volunteer Linda Donohue” In her earlier report, Linda notes: Tank has lots of energy and got the zoomies in the house. He rarely barks! Tank enjoys playing with toys and being with people. Whenever he sees someone, his little tail starts wagging. He’s very alert on walks. He likes to listen to the birds and other animal sounds. He’s inquisitive and smart. He likes sleeping burrowed under a blanket. When we took a nap together, he scooted right under my quilt and stayed there for an hour. If you would like to meet Tank, please stop by the shelter - we’re open daily 12-3:30pm. To meet our fabulous pets, stop by Somerset Regional Animal Shelter, 100 Commons Way in Bridgewater, NJ. We're open daily 12-3:30pm, no appointment necessary! For more information, call the shelter at 908-725-0308.

  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.
