n take his time to feel safe and settle in. He may be shy at first, but give him a few weeks and he’ll wiggle his way right into your heart with his goofy personality and clumsy antics. Yogi walks well on a leash, right by your side without pulling, though he’ll be sure to alert you when the mail carrier, delivery trucks, or visitors approach. He can be vocal — sometimes howling or whining when crated — so an apartment might not be the best fit for him. He enjoys having access to a backyard, but it isn’t a must as long as he gets his walks in. He’s still getting used to his crate and making steady progress. With outdoor access, Yogi will happily do his business outside — sometimes he just needs his person nearby to keep him focused, since he can be easily distracted. As a senior pup, Yogi may be losing a bit of his hearing and vision, but he doesn’t let that slow him down. He LOVES fetch — even if he doesn’t always see where the ball lands. Sometimes he brings it back, sometimes he tosses it in the air and chases it himself, and if given the chance, he’ll even “skin” the ball with great satisfaction. When it comes to downtime, Yogi enjoys his naps and is slowly learning the joys of cuddling. He may not seek out your lap just yet, but once you put him there, he settles right in and seems to love it. Health update: Yogi is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has a clean bill of health. The vet does recommend a dental cleaning (and maybe a couple of extractions), but otherwise he’s in great shape for his age. Social life: Yogi does well with smaller dogs and may adapt to larger dogs with a slow introduction and some time. We’re not sure about cats or kids yet, but his gentle personality suggests he could adapt well with patience and care. Yogi is a sweet, silly boy who just needs time, patience, and love. In return, he’ll make you laugh, keep you company, and be your loyal little shadow. Ready to give Yogi the safe, happy retirement he deserves? Fill out a statement of interest today to meet this distinguished, fun-loving gentleman!

  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.
