labeled “feral”. Thankfully, Operation Pets Alive gave her a chance and learned very quickly that she was not feral at all. With 1-day old puppies, she was scooped up and in foster care, and her life changed forever! It took some time to gain her trust, but she has come a long way and is now ready for a family of her own. Shirley was by far the best momma dog any litter of puppies could have ask for. She has grown to love her human friends and has begun to show her affectionate side. While she isn't a fan of being picked up and held, she loves to cuddle on the sofa or in bed with her favorite peeps. Did I mention she howls? It's always random and as cute as can be! She’s playful with other dogs after she gets comfortable with them and values a soft bed in her crate when it’s time to relax. Shirley is crate trained, but is still in need of guidance to potty outside. Wet grass has created a set back for her. She is also heartworm positive, but she will be treated through the rescue at no additional cost to her adopter.

  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.
