older. He was born in a breeding situation, so he hasn’t had a lot of human interaction until now. He is slowly learning to trust humans, but is still very hesitant to come up to us on his own. With a little patience, we are able to grab him and carry him where we need him to go. Indoors, Sterling sleeps with his two siblings in a crate. Once crated, he sleeps quietly through the night. He also doesn’t bark much at all throughout the day. All three of them do keep the crate clean if kept in it for less than a few hours, but overnight is still a little long for them. During the day, the puppies alternate between a pen indoors, a larger pen outdoors, a crate (if we need to leave the house for a couple hours), and in the evenings they get free run of 2-3 rooms indoors. They love the variety and do very well in all situations. We make sure there are very regular outdoor visits, but they are still a long ways from being fully housetrained. We recommend potty training using a small crate and an outdoor area consistently. We have begun leash training. Sterling is learning quickly and does well. He is very smart – and therefore does need to be watched. He has figured out how to escape our pen setup a couple times, and we needed to reinforce areas where we joined multiple pens together. With time and some regular socialization, we feel Sterling will make an excellent pet for all types of families. He has met cats (with no notable reaction) and really enjoys other dogs. He loves to play with other dogs, but doesn’t seem to depend on them as much as some puppies do. He could do well in a variety of settings, with or without other pets. He hasn’t met kids yet but we see no reason why he wouldn’t do well with patient, gentle handling. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $950.00

  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.
