Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Meet Gherkin – a 13‑pound dill‑ightful little dude who’s ready to relish life with you! At about 8 years old, Gherkin is the perfect mix of

sweet and silly. He’s "mostly" housetrained (occasional accident), crate‑trained (though he’ll tell you his opinions about that at first), and absolutely insists on having a dog buddy around – no solo gigs for this guy. Gherkin is a professional snuggler, loves to burrow under the covers at bedtime, and is happiest as your personal shadow. He’s currently being treated for heartworm but that won’t stop him from being adopted into his forever home. He loves laps, loves people of all ages, and just wants to be part of the action. If you’ve got another friendly pup and an open spot on your couch (and in your bed), Gherkin is ready to fill it! Apply at .northstarpets and don’t forget to mention his name – he’s kind of a big dill.

  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.
