. She is doing great in her foster home a little afraid of new surroundings but adapted and quit hiding after 3 days. She has warmed up to the family kids and dog in her foster home. She is learning that life in the house isn't so bad. This is what her foster mom had to say: Harper is a 2 year old Aussie with a gentle heart and so much potential. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels safe, her sweet personality really starts to shine. Harper is eager to learn and truly wants to connect with her person, she just needs a little patience and encouragement to blossom. She loves going on walks and enjoys having a routine. As a typical Aussie, she's smart and attentive, and she'll thrive with someone who can continue building her confidence and giving her positive guidance. Harper is both house trained and crate trained, making her an easy addition to a home. Harper does well with other dogs and would likely benefit from a confident canine companion. She's also good with older kids who understand that she may need a little time to warm up. Her ideal home would be a calm, patient household committed to helping her grow into the amazing dog she's meant to be. In return, Harper will give you loyalty, quiet companionship, and the joy of watching a shy girl come out of her shell. If you're looking for a smart, sensitive, and loving best friend, Harper might be your perfect match

  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.
