having spent over 500 days in their care for no reason other than she kept getting overlooked. Sadder still, this was her second time in the shelter - she was first adopted as a puppy but was returned FIVE years later when her "family" no longer had time for her. Here at Nirvana, we believe family is for life, not until. Life gets busy, schedules change, priorities shift, but dumping a family member in a loud, noisy shelter after five years in a home is simply unacceptable to us. Thanks to a local foster family saying "yes," Velvet is now safe with us and searching for a true forever family, one who will love her for the rest of her days, unconditionally! Velvet is a young 7 years old and weighs 58 lbs. We are guessing she is some kind of pit bull terrier mix, but as always we cannot say for sure what other breeds may be hiding in her DNA! She is a shy but oh so sweet girl who blossoms with patience and consistency. Once she's comfortable, she'll happily show off her puppy-like zoomies and ask you to throw her favorite toy for a fetch session! She can be trusted outside of the crate and is not destructive in the home, and is doing great with house training in her foster home. Velvet has lived with calm dogs in the past and participated in shelter play groups with other lower key dogs; puppies or dogs with high-energy playstyles may be a bit too much for this senior gal. She is very gentle and has done fine with older/calm children, too! We can't wait to see Velvet find a family who will cherish her like she deserves, and has deserved for the first 7 years of her life. To adopt Velvet, please apply on our website! .nirvanaanimalrescue/adoption-application Please note we cannot guarantee the age or breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training. PA Kennel License #18366

  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.
