INUTE RADIUS OF DES MOINES UNTIL AFTER SHE HAS BEEN SPAYED. Holly is a 13-week-old mixed breed puppy in whom her foster mom can see flashes of Labrador Retriever looks and behaviors. She came from one of two litters in the same household and was surrendered along with 12 of her half/full siblings from a home in Oklahoma (same dad, different mothers.) Holly has the most beautiful chocolate-caramel colored coat and lovely greenish brown eyes that will melt your heart. She has a smooth coat and doesn't seem to shed much. She is goofy and very outgoing and can be a bit bossy at times with her sister (she does have 5 pounds on her!) She enjoys being outside and running around outdoors and indoors with a toy held firmly in her mouth. She is affectionate and cuddly but is happy to be off on her own as well. She is doing very well with house and crate training but will need further work going forward. She is in a home with a teenage girl and 4 foster siblings and does well with the other dogs. She has not been around cats in her foster home. Siblings: Noelle (F) Holly (F) If you are interested in meeting Holly, please complete an online application at hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.

  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.
