t 20lbs, he is the definition of a homebody. Snuggled up next to you on the couch, belly up for rubs, while you binge-watch cooking shows or unwind with your favorite series is his perfect day too. He’s mellow, affectionate, and an absolute expert in the fine art of napping. After being surrendered by the family he grew up with, he was understandably shaken (where he lived with young kids). While his next home wasn’t the right fit, Sparky didn’t give up. With the support of a fantastic trainer (ace_pets_services), he’s made amazing progress, especially with his leash reactivity, and continues to improve every single day. Sparky’s Favorite Things: Cuddles & belly rubs Watching you cook (he’s a five-star sous-chef) Treats, praise, and routine Calm, cozy environments What Sparky’s Great At: House-trained and crate-trained (he sleeps soundly in his crate at night) Knows the “No” command Loves structure and consistent routines Incredible potential with the right guidance What He’s Working On: Leash reactivity to dogs and new people (but improving with training) Calm greetings with visitors Desensitization with tools like the pet corrector and positive reinforcement Who Sparky’s Looking For: A quiet home with a yard, where he won’t have to constantly meet new people or dogs. Or with a patient, consistent owner (or couple) who’s willing to continue his training. He’s shown he can make great progress, he just needs someone to believe in him. While generally calm around children, Sparky may react similarly to how he does with adults at times, so respectful, dog-savvy older kids or an adult-only home might be best. He’s reactive around other dogs on walks but continues to improve with consistent training and redirection, and is the absolute SWEETEST inside. Despite the ups and downs, Sparky hasn’t lost his gentle spirit. With the right home, there’s no doubt he’ll blossom into the loyal, loving companion you’ve been dreaming of.

  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.
