the home, but as always will need to meet any dogs he will be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Toby is an easy-going dog, but he is older and may need more intensive vet care than a young dog. He would do best with someone that has an established relationship with a vet to ensure that he continues to age gracefully, and remains comfortable throughout his years. [Some Experience] KIDS: Toby is tolerant of handling and hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding while at TJO. He could be a good match for a family with kids, but he is still an older dog and may not like to play as much as a higher-energy dog. Interactions between children and dogs should always be closely monitored to ensure that both parties remain comfortable and safe. [Likely (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Toby doesn't have as much interest in toys or running around as he probably used to. He's more interested in spending time with his favorite people, and is just as happy to laze around as he is to take a leisurely walk around the block. [Couch Potato] VETERINARY CARE: Toby is currently in need of a dental that TJO will provide. He may also have some renal issues that we are currently waiting on the blood test results for. [Above Average / Intensive] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Toby not only learn his basic cues & skills, but also help him to bond with his new owner as well. [Minimal] GROOMING: Because of his fur texture, Toby will require routine brushing to ensure that he does not become matted. [Routine Brushing]

  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.
