ion for the anxiety she displays. Her owners say she has a definite 'touch boundary' and will react when it is breached by showing teeth and even nipping. She also resource guards, particularly her food. It is not advised that she be in a home with children at this time. However, Luna is also a sweet, playful dog and her owners say this about her: "Luna is a two-year-old, 35 lb Border Collie mix with a big heart and endless energy. She's incredibly smart, loves playing fetch, learning new tricks, and thrives with daily structure and activity. Luna is crate trained, mostly housebroken, and bonds closely with her person once trust is built. She does best as the only dog in the home, as she has resource guarding tendencies. Luna also has strong touch boundaries: if she doesn't want to be petted, she will show her teeth as a warning, and if ignored, she may nip (though she has never broken skin). When her energy needs are met, she's calm, affectionate, and focused. For example, after a good park visit, she recently completed a full vet exam and vaccines with no issues or muzzle needed. Luna is looking for an experienced, active owner who understands dogs with clear boundaries and can provide her with the structured life she deserves. She will bring so much loyalty, love, and joy to the right person who understands her unique needs." If you would like to meet Luna or just know more about her, please contact her owners at austin.schmittwwt

  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.
