meone walked by his kennel he ran to the front hoping that someone was coming for him. He had intestinal parasites, wasn’t neutered, had several masses, had terrible teeth, and was heart worm positive. Most of his issues have been treated. He has finished his heart worm treatment and will have his dental in February 2026. At first he didn’t respond to us when we took him out after pulling him from the shelter. It didn’t take him long to realize that living inside with folks who loved him was a dream come true. He likes to lay around with his buddy Gus and wander and sniff in the yard. We’ve discovered that he is an escape artist if he sees something that interests him. He can open latches on gates and climb a chain link fence. He will need a 6 ft privacy fence and a family who will be very diligent about watching over him. He is a fireplace dog who loves to chill with his other foster sibs and is learning basic cues. We don’t know how he is with cats. He would love a home with people who will love him for the rest of his life, taking him on sniffy walks and include him in family adventures. If you are that special family who would love this boy forever, please contact Rainbow Rescue at 757-472-1583 or rainbowanimalrescuevagmail

  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.
