bilitly to decompress, and lots of opportunities for enrichment and regular exercise. OTHER PETS: Simba is very stiff around other dogs and does not take feedback or communicate well with other dogs, he will not be adopted out to a home with another pet. [Should Be Only Pet] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone who has experience with positive reinforcement to work with a high arousal dogs as well as the ability to physically manage a strong dog while teaching life skills would be Simba's best fit. [Very Experienced] KIDS: Simba has a unique playstyle that can best be described as conflicted - he initiates physical contact with humans by throwing himself at them as a way of soliciting attention but is also making whale eyes throughout the interaction. The humans living with Simba will need to be able to learn his specific body language quickly so as best to help him feel safe in his new home and respect his boundaries. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: When aroused Simba appears to have a high energy level but he tires quickly; he does enjoy exploring with his nose when outside but struggles to not pull against the leash. As he learns loose-leash walking he'll enjoy walks tailored to his endurance level and until then having access to a safe area to play off leash would be ideal. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Simba bond with his new owner while learning new skills and fun tricks. Simba's new humans should expect to invest a significant amount of time helping Simba with over-arousal, and possibly seek the assistance of a qualified, positive reinforcement practitioner. [Intense but Already Housebroken!] GROOMING: [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.
