oy who was more than happy to leave his kennel and head outside for a walk. He walks nicely on a leash and enjoys being out and about with his person. During his time outside, if a loud noise startled him, Bengi would run right over for a hug &mdash; which just meant he got lots of cuddles that day. It&rsquo;s clear that he finds comfort being close to someone he trusts. His former owner shared that Bengi is a very loving dog who enjoys cuddling and being near his people. He lived as an indoor dog and did great with kids of all ages. Bengi does experience some separation anxiety, so he would do best in a home where someone is around most of the day. Having another dog in the home may also help him feel more secure. Bengi is a sweet, affectionate boy who simply wants to be close to the people he loves. He is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines, and he&rsquo;s ready to find a home where he can feel safe, loved, and never short on hugs. Apply to adopt Bengi at EHRDOGS.ORG.

  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.
