concerned it was a fracture, so he was sent to a private vet for x-rays. Sure enough, he has a fracture that will require orthopedic surgery. Since Smitty was in a shelter we don't ordinarily see pleas from, we just learned about him on Thursday, June 5th. Fortunately, a networker reached out to us directly to see if we could help him because his last day to exit the shelter was by 4 PM on June 6th! We got Smitty to the surgeon by 5:00 on 6/5 so they could perform surgery the following morning. Sadly, he was in the beginning stages of kennel cough so the surgery was a no go. He is currently hospitalized in ISO and hopefully he is declared healthy very soon so we can get his leg addressed before there is further injury to it. What we can tell you about Smitty so far is, he is very sweet and affectionate. He seems to know basic commands like sit and stay. He was a shelter favorite and they were so elated Labradors and Friends agreed to help him. We will update this information once this sweet, deserving pup has his surgery and begins his road to recovery. If you would like to know more about Smitty, please head over to labradorsandfriends and fill out an application. Smitty is located in Southern California.

  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.
