has found herself looking for her forever home, due to no fault of her own. She is a bit camera shy so we will post more pictures as soon as possible. Cocoa would like a home where her alone time is minimal. She was her mom's emotional support animal and went absolutely everywhere with her, so we would like an adopter that likes to take their pup along for the ride. She has tried to initiate play with other pups in her foster home, so a companion animal would be a plus but not a deal breaker. Cocoa is a good watch dog and therefore may not be appropriate for apartment/condo living. (She will bark loud when someone knocks on the door.) She is potty trained. We were told that she chooses the men in her life carefully but has had no problem at all with her foster dad. She let him know when she was ready to meet him. Cocoa is somewhat aloof, will sit on your lap for a few minutes but it is not her favorite spot. She generally prefers to follow you around and when appropriate sit on your feet. When held, she will give you little kisses. She loves to play with her toys and snuggle under blankets in her bed. Cocoa has recently been diagnosed with kidney disease and is on meds and k/d food. The cost per day for meds and food is approximately $2.00.

  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.
