p;rsquo;s been discovering what it means to feel safe, loved, and brave ever since. Polly absolutely adores her foster mama… she’s a little shadow who follows her everywhere. She’s the definition of a lap dog and loves nothing more than snuggling up close. She sleeps in foster mom’s bed, enjoys car rides, and is starting to show her playful side with other dogs and toys. She gets along wonderfully with the other pups in her foster home, but kids can still be a little scary for her. Polly would never hurt a fly. When she’s unsure, she just freezes or hides. She has come a long way and is learning all the good dog things. She can do stairs now, walks nicely on a leash, is crate trained, and is partially housebroken. She’s been wearing a diaper at night just in case, but she wakes up dry and has also uses potty pads. With a little consistency, she’ll have it down perfectly. A fenced in yard is preferred for Polly, as she does best going potty off-leash. If you’re looking for the sweetest, most devoted little companion, Polly just might be your girl. She is spayed, fully vetted and vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for her happy ever after. She will need regular grooming appts. Her adoption donation is $500.

  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.
