Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Mixed (medium coat). Remember our first post about these three terriers? After the loss of a family member left them homeless, they were brought to the shelter. We had no idea wh

at sex they were or their ages or breeds! The good news is, we have made friends with them, discovered they are about 18 months old, and have discovered they are all males! Thanks to Bry with Sit Pretty Grooming LLC for offering to take the three in and freshen them up this week, so they could more readily fostered! Turns out once they got on the grooming table, they were pretty easy clients, according to their groomers who worked extra hard to get them done! Tin-man is black and white, more like a Shih Tzu perhaps, and also is not house trained. He is also peeing on absolutely everything in the house, so a belly band is the only thing that is working well for him at this point as well. He is a follower, and if Lion is on an adventure, Tin-man wants to be right there. He is not quite as pushy, however, but he does enjoy laying on the bed, and watching TV from the sofa. We are hoping to have these guys sterilized in the next couple weeks so they will be ready to be adopted. In the meantime, their foster moms are working hard to teach them house manners, and routines. We will not be placing them in the same home, but feel they will do well with other nice dogs, and cats as well. we have not tested them with children yet. of three fuzzy little dogs came in to the shelter on Friday. We are getting to know them, and look forward to making friends, and introducing you to their needs and personalities. They are still chilling out and are not yet ready for handling. Their story: their owner passed away, and family members had no information or details on their sexes, names or ages. We are guessing they are terrier mixes, weighing about 20 pounds. Right now, they are finding comfort in being together, and we like to help dogs that are stressed at the shelter stay together in a family group initially. Canned food was welcomed last night, and we will offer yummy treats today. 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.
