l, and cuddly, with just a touch of puppy mischief to keep life fun. This sweet girl is high-energy and full of joy, she absolutely loves to play! She became instant best friends with another foster dog and spends her days wrestling, cuddling, and snoozing like a sibling pair. While she does well with other dogs, Lourdes doesn’t require a canine companion as long as her humans are ready to play and engage with her. Lourdes is alert but not yappy. She may bark at unfamiliar people or outside noises, but barking is the only “guard dog” behavior she shows. She’s friendly, confident, and comfortable being handled, and she warmed up to her foster home right away. When playtime winds down, Lourdes turns into a total cuddlebug. She loves to snuggle, sleeps in bed with her foster, and has a gentle, sweet side that balances her energetic moments. Despite her small size, she’s robust and sturdy, not a fragile, delicate toy breed. She does great in the car, on a leash, and in a fenced yard. While she won’t bolt, she is curious and may wander if not supervised, so leash time is important. She hasn’t met children yet, but based on her personality and love of energy, she would likely do very well with them. Lourdes is still very much a puppy, having been found as a stray, so she’s continuing to work on potty training and appropriate chewing. She uses puppy pads reliably if she can’t make it outside in time and is making steady progress. She isn’t destructive, her occasional chewing is limited to things like shoes or paper and is easily managed with supervision and puppy-proofing. She can be crated when her people are away and will benefit from some crate training when her humans are home. Best of all, she is smart, treat-motivated, and very trainable. With consistency and love, she’ll continue to blossom into an amazing companion. Having Lourdes around is like having a built-in mood booster, she brings energy, laughter, affection, and endless cuddles wherever she goes. If your home could use a little extra pep, warmth, and puppy love, Lourdes may be the perfect match for you. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $625.00

  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.
