housing issues. Mary is an active dog that requires a large, fenced yard so she can reach her maximum Greyhound speed without worry of her leaving the yard. She has the Greyhound speed and agility for sure! Mary is described as super easy going and happy all of the time. She loves being with people, cuddling with her foster family, and going for walks. She does tend to enjoy the smells on her walks so needs to work on walking beside her owner a bit more. Her ideal home would be an active home that can take Mary on adventures. She has gotten along with other dogs, and she has had experience at doggy daycare in the past. Her foster mom reports that she is quick to learn. She is house trained, and crate trained (although she doesn't go in voluntarily) and will sleep quietly in her crate all night. Mary's favorite past time is running and lounging in her fenced yard. If you are interested in meeting Mary, please complete an online application at hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $250 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.

  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.
