s a backyard dog with little family interaction, so the shelter team and volunteers are working hard to help him learn manners, build confidence, and become the wonderful companion we know he can be. This boy is highly active, friendly with new people, and eager to please. He already knows how to sit on command and is very treat motivated—perfect for continued training. Skunk walks well on the leash most of the time, but like many young, energetic dogs, he can get excited if he sees something that interests him. He settles down quickly, though, and is learning every day. Skunk enjoys attention and loves to be petted, though he prefers not to stay still for too long—he’s always ready for the next adventure! With proper guidance, consistency, and plenty of exercise, he has excellent potential to thrive in a loving home. Because he missed out on early socialization, Skunk will do best with an adopter willing to provide supervision and structure, especially around other dogs. Volunteers describe him as fun, strong, and very willing to learn. He is a smart boy who just needs the right person to continue building on the progress he’s making here. If you’re looking for an active, trainable companion who’s ready for a fresh start, Skunk could be the perfect fit for you!

  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.
