new environments, but once she's comfortable she'd be more than happy to curl up at the end of the couch and lounge around during a movie. OTHER PETS: Palmera had no interest in other dogs during her time at TJO. She would likely get along best with another similarly-tempered dog in the home that will co-exist with her. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone that can be dedicated to helping Palmera feel comfortable in her new home would be her ideal match, though someone that has experience with positive reinforcement and timid dogs will likely have an easier adjustment period. [First Dog / Some Experience] KIDS: Palmera is uncomfortable with some types of handling, so she would do best with kids that are old enough to understand when to let her have her own space. Interactions between children and dogs should always be actively monitored to ensure that both parties remain comfortable and safe. [10+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Palmera is a bit head-shy and is nervous of walking on-leash, so she's not currently a fan of walks or big adventures like a trip to the park. She's more than happy with some time out in an enclosed yard and a nice bed to curl up on. A combination of regular outings in the yard and mental enrichment will help meet her needs. [Couch Potato] VETERINARY CARE: As an older dog, Palmera will likely need more frequent routine appointments with a vet to ensure that she continues to age gracefully. At the moment, however, she is in good health and does not have any immediate concerns. [Routine / Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Palmera not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well. [Minimal] GROOMING: Because of her fur type, Palmera will require routine brushing in order to ensure that she does not develop any matts. Professional grooming appointments every 6-8 weeks will also be needed to keep her clean and comfortable. [Routine Brushing / Professional Grooming]

  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.
