He was a well-known street dog living near the beach in Durres, where both tourists and local volunteers fed him every day. He became a familiar, friendly face&mdash;one of those dogs everyone looked forward to seeing. Then one day, Sammy showed up with a painful burn on his face. After speaking with neighbors and nearby businesses, it&rsquo;s believed someone threw a chemical on him. It&rsquo;s the kind of cruelty that happens when a good, trusting dog crosses paths with the wrong person. Because the person responsible is still in that area, returning Sammy to the streets would mean putting him right back in danger. And yet, despite everything he&rsquo;s been through, Sammy is still incredibly sweet. He loves people, gets along well with other dogs, cats, and has even met children without any issues. He never lost that gentle, trusting nature. Thankfully, his eyes were not damaged, and his burn has healed beautifully&mdash;his fur is already growing back in. Sammy is the definition of resilience. He deserves a safe home where he will never have to wonder if he&rsquo;s going to be hurt again&mdash;only loved.

  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.
