e had to be anesthetized so he could be shaved down. His teeth were rotten and we will see how many he will have left after he gets a much needed dental soon. Whatever his previous life was, he did not get the care needed. The other hurdle we are trying to help him overcome is that he will not hold his urine for extended periods of time. He keeps his belly band dry at night, and doesn’t have accidents if someone is around and lets him out every few hours or so, but when his foster mom is gone and puts one on him, he will wet in his belly band. If he’s crated, he will rub his little nose red trying to get out. We are working on this situation, but he may just need to wear bands whenever his owners leaves and have them changed when they come home. We suspect part of the neglect he experienced previously was having to wear them all the time and not changing them if they became soiled. It may just be what got accustomed to after his former owner couldn’t or simply didn’t take him outside and that’s all he knows how to do. A forever home where someone is around most of the time would be ideal for our little man. Other than that, Guthrie’s a sweet old guy still got quite a bit spunkiness when the mood strikes him - especially when his person comes home or at mealtime. He loves his foster mama, long naps on the couch and treats! Does this little guy sound like someone you could open your heart and home to? We expect him to be recovered from his dental and ready to be adopted in mid-December. You can easily fill out an adoption application by clicking here: adoption application.

  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.
