inging toys back to continue the game of fetch. Her favorites so far seem to be squeaky toys and balls, though she's open to new options. OTHER PETS: Gerdie was relaxed when meeting another dog, but she didn't show a lot of interest in playing. She would likely do best with another relaxed dog that can understand when to let her have her own space in the home. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Gerdie is prone to pulling on the leash when she's excited, and as a bigger dog will do best with someone that can be capable of handling her, as well as experience with positive reinforcement or the willingness to learn. [First Dog] KIDS: Gerdie is tolerant of handling and hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding during her time at TJO, but she is an older lady and doesn't always appreciate feeling restrained or confined. She would do best with kids that are old enough to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space. [10+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: While Gerdie appreciates a good long nap on the couch as much as anybody, she loves going on walks and playing with a variety of toys. She would be a great walking buddy for trips around the block, and will thrive with various types of mental enrichment to fully meet her needs. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: While Gerdie currently needs to work on losing a few pounds, she is otherwise currently in good health. As an older dog, she will need a good relationship with a vet to ensure that she continues to age gracefully into her golden years and remains comfortable. [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: While Gerdie already seems to know a few tricks, positive reinforcement training will help Gerdie to brush up on her basic cues & skills, as well as help her bond with her new owner. [Minimal] GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]

  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.
