le, and calm. He rides well in the car, walks nicely on leash, and handles toys gently. Brody has shown no reactivity to passing vehicles and only minimal interest in cats or other dogs. While he’ll continue to be assessed, he’s already proving to be a well-mannered, family-friendly shepherd.Brody was brought to us by a family who had him for only a couple weeks, and realized they had made a big mistake, getting a big dog that needed exercise at their age. Brody was in another home before that, and we don’t know what his history was prior, but someone has loved him, someone spent some time, teaching him about house training, and someone had done a little leash work with him. He knows how to sit using voice commands and a hand command. He is not a pushy dog, but rather submissive. He is on the smaller side, and we are guessing he was from a backyard breeder. Regardless , he has a wonderful personality, is friendly with every human he has met, and we would feel very comfortable, placing him in a home with other dogs who are also friendly. We were told he has interest in cats, and we take that to me that he would probably chase a cat. As far as children, we don’t know what his exposure has been to children, and for dogs where we have no history, we recommend children over the age of six or seven, who are dog savvy, and no not to run, grab, or sit on dogs. Does it sound like he might be a good match for you? What else can we tell you? He is extremely gentle, and if you touch the toy he drops it immediately no tug of war. he also drops the ball at your feet when playing fetch. he’s been a delight to have around PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.

  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.
