ws many commands, and absolutely loves walks, adventures, and beach time. Howie is also healthy, up-to-date on vaccines, neutered, and on preventatives. Howie is a loyal and protective companion who thrives under structure and consistency. He bonds strongly with his person and enjoys following them around the house, while also being independent enough to relax on his own. He’s smart, affectionate, and eager for adventure—whether that’s chasing squirrels in the yard, exploring trails, or running along the beach (he has excellent recall when called!). Because Howie takes his role as “protector” very seriously, he needs a special home that understands his needs: No young children. Howie has a bite history when startled or overwhelmed, so a home with adults or older teens only is essential. Dog-savvy owner. Howie thrives with someone who understands boundaries and can provide calm, confident leadership. He’s had professional training and responds well when structure is maintained. Other pets? He may do best as the only dog, but with slow introductions and the right match (a calm, neutral-tempered dog), he may be able to share his space. Active lifestyle. Howie loves walks, beach days, and having a yard to patrol—he’ll be happiest with someone who enjoys keeping him active and engaged. Howie has worked with experienced trainers who believe he is a good dog with insecurities that can be managed successfully in the right home. He needs an adopter who will commit to setting him up for success with routines, boundaries, and continued training support. With the right person, Howie will be a deeply loyal companion who’s always ready for the next adventure by your side. If you think you can give Howie the structured, loving home he needs, please reach out to learn more about him. Complete one of our online adoption applications today!

  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.
