pical English Bulldog, she overheats easily and her `smush face` background should not be ignored. OTHER PETS: Capri was eager to greet and interact with dogs. While inside, with a dog of similar size she was snapping at his hind end. While outside, with a larger dog, she was less intense and more relaxed. Capri should meet any potential dog roommates prior to adoption to ensure they are a good match. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone with experience with brachycephalic dogs or someone committed to learning all they need to do to ensure Capri does not overheat would be her best fit. [Some Experience] KIDS: Capri is social and outgoing with people but can be excited taking treats (open hand treat giving is recommended) and is uncomfortable with some handling. [13+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Capri has a lot of energy, but daily walks need to be taken with care as she overheats easily. In the summe months getting creative is important - indoor playtime, night walks, dog pools, and plenty of mental enrichment will help meet all her needs. She would likely enjoy accompanying her humans on adventures as long as care is taken to ensure she stays cool. [Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: Brachycephalic dogs have a greater likelihood of developing breathing difficulties over the course of their life, they are also more apt to overheat in hot weather and are prone to eye infections, and skin irritation spreads quickly throughout their body. A strong relationship with a vet is recommended to ensure that Capri ages gracefully. [Above Average] GROOMING: [Minimal] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Capri bond with her new owner as well as help her learn important life skills in her new home. Positive reinforcement training and happy experiences will help her enjoy time with her guardians. [Minimal]

  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.
