; eye. Shadow wasn't just another overlooked black dog at the shelter, he was brought into the shelter by the only family he ever knew. Not only did they discard Shadow without hesitation, but it was also clear he led a life of neglect. Shadow was given the highest possible behavior score on intake, they noted he was very sweet and easily handled. Shadow had alopacia all over his body and was very underweight. His body composition was 4.5/9. They started him on medication to try to help resolve whatever was wrong with his skin. Additionally, they saw to it that Shadow received extra feedings every day. Shadow was brought in on January 12th. Two weeks later, they took him into play groups to see how he interacted with other dogs and staff. They noted he was very easily collared in his kennel and walked nicely to the play yard. He entered the yard very relaxed with a soft body and initially bypassed all the other dogs to just go explore the yard. He was very tolerant of all the other dogs trailing and sniffing him. After a short time exploring, he began approaching the other dogs and exchanging soft greetings with them. He remained calm and social during his entire time in the yard, but he did not engage in any play. He is very dog social. We were able to pick Shadow up on February 3rd where he went to a boarding facility to continue his path to his second chance. We are continuing to monitor his dietary needs and treating his skin issues. Shadow is once again being called out as a very sweet and loving boy. Dogs show us time and time again just how resilient they are. If you are interested in meeting Shadow, please head over to labradorsandfriends to fill out an application. Shadow is located in Southern California.

  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.
