s a 4-year-old brindle boy with white socks, soft eyes, and a squishy face that could convince even the most cold-hearted person to drop everything and baby-talk him. He’s equal parts handsome, goofy, and tender—and he knows it. Here’s what life with Yam Yam looks like: Professional Velcro Dog – He loves to sit next to his person, no matter where you are. Couch? Yes. Desk? Absolutely. He’s happiest just being nearby, soaking up the love, and nudging for a few more pets. Gets Along With Other Dogs – Yam Yam enjoys the company of the resident dog in his foster home. They hang out together, sometimes cuddle up, and Yam Yam even lets his foster brother clean his feet (true friendship right there). Bedtime Is Sacred – Couch cuddles? Yam Yam is happy to share. But when the lights go out and it’s time to curl up in bed, that’s his special moment with his person. In his foster home, that means he snoozes peacefully in his crate at night (no fuss at all). In a one-dog household, though, he’d likely be over the moon to snuggle right up in bed with you. Crate Pro – Speaking of crates, he’s fully trained and quiet as a mouse in his. No complaints, no drama. House Manners in Progress – Yam Yam didn’t come to foster care housetrained, but he’s made great strides. With consistency, he’s getting the hang of it and will keep improving in a patient home. Independent Streak – He’s generally fine left alone for a few hours and not the type to chew up your shoes or rearrange your furniture. That said, like most dogs, he does best when he isn’t asked to hold down the fort for marathon stretches. Backyard Explorer – He’s got a nose for squirrels (and the occasional bird). It’s adorable watching him light up in “backyard patrol” mode—but it also means cats or tiny housemates probably won’t appreciate his enthusiasm. Road Trips = Not His Thing – Cars make him a little drooly and dramatic, but he does fine in the back seat as long as the window’s not wide open. (Think: “Are we there yet?” but in dog form.) Did We Mention the Face? – That face. That squishy, puppy-eye, soul-melting face. We dare you to resist it. Yam Yam has been in foster since June, and his foster family is smitten. He’s adorable, funny, and incredibly loving. He just needs a forever home that can give him the love (and bedtime cuddles) he deserves.

  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.
