ourtesy post to help the owner find a safe and appropriate new home. All inquiries should be directed to the owner, not Yolo County Animal Services. Meet Alpha, an 8-year-old male Spitz looking for a fresh start after his previous owner passed away. His current caregiver has only had him a few weeks and is unable to keep him due to housing issues. About Alpha Breed: Spitz Age: 8 years Color: Yellow/Tan Gender: Male (not neutered) Vaccines: Up to date History: Came from a relative who recently passed; appears to have been previously neglected and may need additional medical care and grooming due to foxtails and minor wounds. Living Situation: Has been kept primarily outdoors. Not potty-trained or crate-trained. Behavior & Temperament Around Visitors: Friendly, excited, and barks. Around Children: Unknown—has not been around kids. Around Dogs: Has lived with dogs before. Handling: Was anxious at the vet and snapped when being muzzled. Bite did not break skin and he calmed down immediately after. Resource Guarding: Allows people to take food and toys. ❗ Important Notes Alpha is anxious in stressful situations and will need an adopter who can go slow with handling and give him structure, patience, and training. He likely needs a veterinary follow-up for skin foxtails and general care. Reason for Rehoming Current caregiver is unable to keep him due to housing restrictions. (707) 813-0628 whthompson95437gmail Alpha is ready for a second chance with a family who can give him the stability and care he’s missed. All animals are up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies if over 4 months old), microchipped, and spayed or neutered. All dogs have been been vaccinated with DHPP and Bordatella (kennel cough) and heartworm tested negative (if over 6 months). All cats have been vaccinated with FVRCP and current on flea control.

  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.
