up in a Tennessee shelter as a stray and, believe it or not, nobody ever came looking for this handsome hamhead. Can you believe it?! Their loss, because I am pure joy on four paws. I’ve got a couple of scars, sure… but they don’t slow me down one bit. They just add to my rugged good looks. Underneath it all? A gigantic, squishy, love-filled heart that’s probably just as big as my head (which, okay… is saying something ). I’m what you’d call a professional tail wagger. Seriously—it just doesn’t stop! Add in my goofy grin, and you’ve got yourself a full-time happiness machine. I LOVE my toys (squeaky ones are my favorite… just saying) and playing fetch with my people is basically my dream job. I’d really love a fenced yard where I can zoom around, stretch my legs, and show off my signature Porky zoomies. And walks? Oh yes, please! I’m always ready to stroll the neighborhood and say hi to everyone I meet—future friends everywhere! Now listen… I know I’m a black bully breed, and sometimes that makes people pause. But don’t let that fool you—I am the biggest mush face EVER. Like, certified softie. I’m all about love, cuddles, goofiness, and making my humans smile. At the end of the day, I’m just a silly, sweet boy who wants a forever family to laugh with, play with, and love with my whole big ol’ heart. So… what do you think? Ready for a little extra joy, slobbery kisses, and nonstop tail wags in your life? Apply for me today!!

  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.
