l, as well as a special diet in case her condition is allergy related. She's a big fan of food and would do best with a family that will let het have her own space while she eats, as well as a slow feeder to keep her from eating too fast. OTHER PETS: Jasmine took a few minutes to start engaging in play with another dog, but she got along well once she did! She would likely get along best in the home with another dog that can match her in play, but also knows how to settle individually. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Jasmine would likely do best with someone that has prior experience with dogs that have allergies or skin conditions, to ensure they are prepared in knowing what to expect and what to look for. [Some Experience] KIDS: Jasmine is very food and scent motivated, but can be intense about her food and possessions. She would do best around kids that are old enough to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space to ensure there is no unnecessary sense of conflict. 15+ ACTIVITY LEVEL: Jasmine is an excitable girl that loves to run around with her people, but settles well when she realizes that play time is over. She would love going for walks around the neighborhood and eventually hiking with further positive reinforcement training. And due to her interest in new smells and treats, she would also be a great candidate for scent work games to help keep her mind happy! [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Jasmine was found to have a very minor heart murmur, but was otherwise physically healthy. It is currently unknown whether her skin condition is due to environmental or dietary allergies, so she will do best with someone that has a good relationship with their vet to ensure that she gets the care she needs, even after her skin heals. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Jasmine has a good amount of energy when she's excited and may be jumpy. She will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while she adjusts to her new environment at home. Positive reinforcement training will help Jasmine not only learn her basic cues & skills, but also help her to bond with her new owner. [Minimal] GROOMING: Jasmine is currently receiving medicated baths to help heal her skin and encourage new, healthy fur to grow in. It's possible that she may need to continue her shampoo treatments occasionally throughout her life if her allergies were to flare up again. [Routine Bathing]

  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.
