Basset Rescue. Darby is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He is an active and vocal boy, full of puppy energy. He is friendly, good with other dogs and was curious, but OK with a dog-savvy cat. Darby is a puppy and still needs help with his housetraining and leash walking. He uses a doggie door, but is not entirely reliable to not have accidents. (A photo shows Darby also trying out a cat door.) At a recent sleepover, Darby shared a crate with another dog and slept OK, but during his initial car ride in a crate, from the shelter to his foster home, Darby barked, panted and was very upset. So, his reaction to being crated may depend on the circumstances. He rides loose in the car without much fuss, but he does tend to get car sick. A photo shows Darby with his chin on the driver's shoulder for security. Darby LOVES to play and we are looking for a home for Darby where he has an energetic playmate to help him burn off that extra energy and keep him out of mischief. He also seems to have some separation anxiety, so a doggie playmate and companion may help him settle, too. At his age and evergy level, he will require training and a lot of supervision to help him grow into the awesome dog that we know he is. Because of his strength and high energy, Darby is not recommended for very young children, or seniors. All in all, Darby is a handsome and charming pup with a big voice and a lot of energy. Do you have a playful young playmate for Darby and the time to train an energetic puppy?

  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.
