him feel better, and he definitely is on the road to being well-rounded and ready for a permanent home. Thanks to the wonderful advice of one of the vets who advises us about our shelter pets, Cody‘s eye was removed, he was neutered, a mass was removed on his side, and the questionable rectal mass that caused him issues during potty time was also removed. He has made a full recovery, stitches have been removed, and he is now fostered in a home with other dogs where he has fit in and is really loving having a male human as a companion. You see Cody was signed over to us after the loss of his human dad, and we think he was very close to his dad. He has perked up immensely now that he gets attention from a man, and we are hoping that his new home can provide him with a male companion as well. If you’re looking for a house trained, happy boy who loves having a yard to explore, is not overly demanding, appears to ignore cats in the house, and gets along with other dogs, please consider Cody! Cody visited Dr Hoss today. To get right to the point here’s what needs to happen: Because his left eye suffered trauma at some point and his eyelid has rolled under rubbing it until it is blind, he needs to have that eye removed. The mass in his anal area that we thought might be a prolapsed rectum is actually a growth that can be removed at the same time he is neutered. It’s not going to be easy for a 10-year-old dog, but if all his blood work looks good we will go ahead with the surgery. Prayers and good thoughts for Cody, please! He is housetrained, may be a bit hard of hearing, seems fine with other dogs around him, and LOVES to ride! Perfect companion! PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA. For questions about the pet, please email us at FOACinfogmail.

  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.
