of the road, appearing as though she had been struck by a car. Exhausted, hurting, and scared, she was brought to us for help. Our team quickly got her to a veterinarian in Annapolis, where it was confirmed that she had indeed been hit. Thanks to proper care, love, and time, Fauna is healing well — but her heart needs healing too. Because of her past trauma, she can take a little while to warm up to new people. She’ll need multiple meet-and-greets with potential adopters so she can build trust at her own pace. Once she feels safe, her loyal and alert nature shines. She’ll let you know if someone is coming to the house, making her a great little “alarm system” with a big heart. Fauna does wonderfully with dogs, cats, and would do best in a home with kids over 12 who can understand her need for space and gentle handling. She’s looking for a home that will give her patience, understanding, and a safe place to feel secure again. If you’re ready to help a brave girl learn to trust and love again, Fauna is waiting for you. Fauna's adoption fee is $150, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: .acskc/adopt-1 Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet!

  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.
