;s still the same sweet soul who has already overcome so much in her young life. Selena and her sibling were found living outside in a crate in South Carolina when they were approximately 8 weeks old. Their former owner, who was squatting in a rural area, refused to bring them indoors, leaving them exposed and vulnerable. Thanks to our incredible partner rescue, Selena was saved and given the chance she deserved—and she has been working hard ever since to become the confident, happy pup she’s meant to be. Selena is on the shy and sensitive side and takes time to warm up to new people as she continues building trust and confidence. To support her, Selena has been attending a board-and-train program, where she has been making great progress learning skills and building confidence in a structured, supportive environment. She is dog friendly, but she needs slow introductions and proper decompression to feel safe and comfortable around other dogs. Selena is also potty trained and crate trained, which has helped give her structure and predictability as she continues to grow. Selena would do best in a home with an experienced dog owner who understands shy puppies and can commit to continuing the training she has already completed to help shape her into the best dog she can be. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Selena has so much potential to blossom. Despite her timid nature, Selena is playful, curious, and affectionate once she feels secure. She’s still a puppy and will continue learning all the ins and outs of life, but with the right home, she’s going to thrive. Selena is ready to take the next step in her journey with someone who believes in her and is willing to help her continue building confidence at her own pace. Could that be you?

  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.
