from another dog, her intensity may not always be appreciated and could portentially result in a fight if not managed properly. [Only Pet] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Copper is a strong dog and has the tendency to pull on leash while walking. She can be rude/pushy when greeting other dogs, and can be intense about food & bones, so she would do best with someone that has positive reinforcement experience with strong dogs and knows enough to leave her alone while she eats, and trade up (food or toys) to safely remove items of value. [Some Experience] KIDS: While Copper was tolerant with some handling, she can be intense around food and high-value treats like bones. She would do best in a home with children that are old enough to understand how to interact with her appropriately and when to leave her alone, allowing her space. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Copper may be shy here in the shelter, but she definitely has some energy in her! She loves to play and can get highly energetic when excited, but she calms quickly once play has ended. Copper would do great with access to both physical and mental enrichment, including things like puzzle toys, scent work games, or even simply scattering kibble around the yard. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Copper is still at the beginning of her positive reinforcement training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience and time while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Copper to not only learn her basic cues, but also help her feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will also provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner. [Moderate] GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]

  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.
