ving in their foster homes. Let us introduce Heimdall who is sharing his foster home with his littermate Freya. Their foster home has a rabbit, two cats, a long hair shepherd, a Jack Russell mix and a young boy. The dogs and kid are away on vacation, they're excited to see the pups as they head back home. Heimdall is likely a long coat shepherd with his stocky body and fuzzier coat. He's talkative, cuddly and super sweet who gets along with Freya exceptionally well. They are currently two peas in a pod, following their human in shepherd fashion, curious about everything. They love toys and typically play together. Their teeth are coming in which makes them grumbly at times and mouthy. They adore cold carrots to take the edge off their incoming teeth. Heimdall just like Freya has learned sit and off commands. Heimdall is big on playing and equally big on sharing his thoughts. He's the more easy going, submissive of this pairing although he's stealth in stealing any toy Freya chooses. Both pups are easy to handle and are handled with full body exams after each outside visit to potty and play for any errant foxtails. They sleep together in a crate covered to give them a den feeling with access to the pen area which is helpful when eyes can't be on mischievous teething puppies. All the puppies are quick to potty when taken outside, suggesting that they were well-cared for in their original home. They are not at the alerting stage yet. They also enjoy playing with toys, nibbling on human toes, and tugging on clothes for attention, followed by plenty of naps. Heimdall will thrive in an experienced forever home committed to environmental exposure to continue the excellent foundation he's receiving in his foster home, ongoing training, and structure shepherd puppies need to grow into neutral adult dogs. Each of the puppies has received their first vaccinations, been dewormed, and are healthy, happy, and a bit chubby! Stay tuned for more updates! Have you checked out our YouTube channel? We would greatly appreciate your support by subscribing, liking, and commenting on the videos we share of our adoptable shepherds in action.

  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.
