. Like many sensitive dogs, she needs time, patience, and a calm environment to fully come out of her shell—but she is so worth the wait. Barbie hasn’t had the easiest start in life and appears to have spent much of it outdoors. She came into rescue after needing surgery due to complications while giving birth to her puppies. Despite everything she’s been through, her capacity for love is truly special. Because of her past, Barbie does experience separation anxiety. She will do best in a home where someone is around most of the time—such as a work-from-home household or one with a flexible schedule. When left alone, she’ll benefit from enrichment like Kongs, Nylabones, and puzzle toys to help her feel secure and occupied. A predictable routine, along with positive reinforcement, will help her continue to build confidence and settle into home life. Barbie tends to be more comfortable with women and may be fearful of men at first, likely due to limited exposure rather than true dislike. With patience and gentle, positive experiences, she has the potential to grow more comfortable over time. She would do best in a home without small children, as she can get a bit enthusiastic and doesn’t always realize her own strength when excited. Barbie also has a high prey drive, so a home without cats is important. She may be happiest as your one and only pet, though she has done well around pot-bellied pigs, showing she can coexist with the right companions. Barbie is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She is currently working on crate and potty training and continues to make progress each day. Barbie isn’t the right fit for every home—but for the right person, someone patient, understanding, and committed to giving her the stability she’s never had, she will be an incredibly loyal, loving, and rewarding companion. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and is available for adoption now through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.

  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.
