family after surrendered to a local shelter. We knew something was wrong with his left eye so immediately got him to the vet and sure enough his eye had glaucoma. We scheduled this magnificent little man for eye enucleation and dental, he had numerous teeth extracted but he is doing great now, so brave, a new little man, whew. From his blood work we started him on thyroid medication he gets at night, will recheck in a couple weeks to see if this dose is correct. Thyroid medication is a relatively cheap medication for dogs, so that’s a good thing. Buddy is the most mild-mannered gentleman, totally house and crate trained, he is let outside to do his business on a regular basis and he doesn’t have to be in a crate very often, his foster family works from home. He is not a barker, actually quiet as a mouse. He curls up next to her 2-legged people for cuddles and sleeps with them at night, but he will sleep on a trampoline bed curled in a blanket as well. He is such a wonderful and charismatic gentleman, unique as can be. He gets along with all the other dogs in his foster home, male and female, big and small. Due to his age he needs to go to a home with older respectful children. We prefer he go to a home with a yard because he loves to linger outside and 2-legged people who work from home or can take him to work with them or retired so he is not alone. He does okay in a crate but we do not want him to live in a crate. If you can give this fabulous little man a safe and secure home with unconditional love, please fill out an application for a meet and greet. He oozes pure sweetness and joy. Buddy should have never ended up in a shelter but he crossed our path and so now will find his furever lasting home that he is so worthy of. He literally takes your breath away. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $100.

  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.
