the patience and compassion to let her come to you, and undo whatever trauma she went through in her past life. Sprite is one of the most fearful dogs we’ve ever fostered. We’ve had her for 4 weeks now and she still runs away to her safe space when anyone enters the room. If you are expecting a cuddle buddy, and a dog to pet, this is not the dog for you. Though she wants to be in the same room as you, she will not allow you near her before running away to another part of the house. We often find her cowering under our dining table. She is particularly afraid of men, she’s not aggressive, but my husband just can’t get near her. She will not eat unless you or other dogs are not in the same room as her, so we let her eat in another room with the door closed. Sprite LOVES other dogs, in fact the only reason she is coming out of her shell a little is because there are three other dogs in our household. She must live with other dogs to show her it’s safe. She is crate trained, and house trained, she knows to potty outside, but for the first few weeks in our home, she peed in place whenever we approached her. For three weeks we literally scared the poop and pee out of her, just trying to bring her food bowl to her. She loves to play outside in a fenced in backyard, but we have not tried walking her because she cowers and won’t move when on a leash, or even worse she will try to slip her harness and runaway (she will come with an escape free 2 hounds harness and leash), she will also come with an air tag, because she is likely to run away (So iphone or ipad recommended). She is not aggressive in any way, she would be submissive to any dog, and she is not food aggressive either. She would not do well in a home with little kids. She jumps at the sound of a door shutting. The beagle rescue says it takes 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn routine, 3 months to feel at home. With Sprite; double that timeline... it will take 6 days to decompress, 6 weeks to learn your routine, and 6 months to feel like family. Sprite will be a loving, fun, happy dog, you just have to give it time. Please don’t adopt Sprite unless you’re prepared to give her a 6 month chance to recognize she’s loved."

  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.
