Lives With: Dogs, cats and people! Puppies are in the prime of socialization. Housebroken? She’s working on her potty training and making great progress! Story: Persephone was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina with 6 littermates. We are so happy to have her safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Persephone is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Persephone is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Persephone will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! What my foster says: Persephone is a sweet, curious, playful, and endearing little bug. She has perfected puppy eyes but don’t let that trick you, she is as sassy as ever. This girl loves people and dogs, and is determined to make you love her. She loves to explore her surroundings and bravely tries new things like going up and down steps or adventuring in the bushes. When it’s time to chill out, she will happily snuggle in your arms and give you kisses…and ear nibbles. While she hasn’t mastered the art of fetch or nose work, she is working on it! All of her meals are in a snuffle mat and she uses that brain diligently. She also loves playing tug, chase, and keep away, and is a big fan of rearranging her bed and blankets in her pen. She also loves to train - because she loves treats - and is learning some basic commands like sit, touch, and down. Like all puppies, your girl loves to jump up and give love, which will require patience and training. She is working on potty and crate training and it is going well! She goes potty on training pads inside but immediately relieves herself when she goes outside. Persephone does well in her crate when there are no humans around…but if you’re nearby she will let you know that she is unhappy in the crate when she could be snuggling or playing with you! You would never guess that the sound she makes is coming from her - think Scuttle from The Little Mermaid :D Persephone has had some tough times but you wouldn’t know it. This little one had pneumonia and spent over 24-hours in the emergency room. Everyone who worked with her fell in love with her spunky, feisty personality. She has recovered wonderfully and is thriving! We think she would fit in perfectly with just about any family, but would especially love a family with kids or another dog who are committed to helping her exercise her mentally and and physically. The fee to adopt Persephone is $475. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. If you think that Persephone might be your perfect match, apply today!

  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.
