me! Even though she is reaching her senior years and a tripod, she does not let that slow her down one bit! Mavis is full of spunk and energy! It was previously noted that she would do best in a home without small children or smaller-sized pets (small dogs, cats, or pocket pets). She did live with other dogs of similar size but enjoys her space and “me” time. It was noted that Mavis is kennel-trained and housebroken! Mavis would love to find a home that can keep her both mentally and physically stimulated; she may enjoy puzzle toys! If you are interested in meeting Mavis, please let us know! 12/26/24 Mavis is back from her foster and ready to find her forever home! While she was staying with her foster it was noted that Mavis may do best in a home without young children, small dogs, cats or pocket pets. Mavis thoroughly enjoys her own time and would much prefer to keep to herself rather than share with other pets in the foster home. Despite having had her left hind leg amputated, Mavis still has plenty of get-up-and-go! She would love a home where she could stay active and go on many adventures with her family. Mavis kept her kennel very clean while staying with her foster and did not have a problem going outside for potty breaks. The foster also noted that Mavis loves going for car rides and having a comfy place to rest at the end of the day. If you are interested in meeting Mavis, please let us know! 10/02/24 This perfect girl is Miss Mavis! Mavis was surrendered to the shelter because she needed emergent medical attention. She had her left hind leg amputated and has a wound being treated on her right front leg from a bullet wound. Even though she has undergone quite a traumatic ordeal her positive attitude has not waivered! Mavis is always happy to greet everyone she sees and has been quite the patient girl during her treatment. We do not know how she was in her last home behavioral wise but at the shelter she has been a good girl. She appears to be housebroken and will potty outside. Mavis seems playful toward her doggy neighbors but possibly a little too interested in smaller critters. She may do best in a home without cats or pocket pets. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with any and all new potential friends. She is also quite the puller on the leash. Don’t let her being a tripod fool you, she is ready to go go go! If you are interested in meeting sweet Mavis, please let us know!

Request to Add a New Breed

  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.
