unds. 12/08/25 This happy boy is Shadow! Shadow is back at the shelter due to no fault of his own. He was described as a very affectionate boy who loves people of all ages – big and small! However, he can be very excitable and does like to jump on people. Shadow was said to be kennel-trained, housebroken, and rides well in cars. When his owner is not home, Shadow was said to be kept in the kennel as he was known to chew and get into the trash if given the opportunity. When it comes to other animals, Shadow was said to be curious towards cats and can be selective with other dogs. He was said to generally be gentle but can become irritable if the other dog does not give him space. Appropriate introductions are important in helping set him up for success! We have found at the shelter that Shadow is very treat-motivated, which can be great with training. He is a sweet boy looking for his next person to love! If you are interested in meeting Shadow, please let us know! 02/19/24 Shadow was returned to the shelter because his adoptive owner could no longer care for him. We unfortunately did not receive any additional behavior on how Shadow behaved in their care. Shadow was excited to see the care staff and still seems to have his happy go lucky energy! Shadow is a large dog and does like to jump on people. He would benefit from attending a basic obedience class to continue working on his manners in his next home! If you are interested in meeting Shadow, please let us know! 01/31/24 This big loving goofball is Shadow! Shadow was surrendered to the shelter because the older dog in the home was starting to beat up on him. Shadow did not engage and was said to love other dogs. He was even said to do well with the cats in the home. Please ensure you are doing appropriate introductions with all new animals. Shadow is a large dog and other animals might not always appreciate his enthusiasm. Shadow was said to be kennel trained, housebroken, rides well in a car, and knows a variety of commands. He does have a history of jumping on counters so please make sure to not leave anything tempting in reach. Shadow was described as a very loving dog who wants to be a lap dog! He was said to do wonderful with people of all ages including babies and children. He was said to very patient with the 1 year old in his prior home. If you are interested in meeting this sweet boy, please let us know!

  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.
