She’s just learning to be a dog and she has come so far in just two weeks in her foster home. She loves her foster brother and follows him around, learning new things everyday (and she’s pretty). She has become a champ walking on lead and has a great record for pottying outside. She has the softest coat and gets bathed about weekly and brushed every other day. She tolerates both, but it takes effort on her part. She’s a low clearance girl, so standing in water is not her idea of fun. She’s really a shorty! But at about 12#, she’s definitely a mini. She is currently very skittish around new people. She is still learning to trust. That can take a while. But she’s very content sitting on your lap, in her bed, or on the couch. And do I mention she’s pretty? She does need a ramp or stairs to get onto furniture and benefits from stairs to get up three steps into her foster house. She’s not much of a jumper and has had back issues in the past. Right now, she gets around well and goes for a walk twice a day. She’s building strength and stamina. Continuing that habit will help her live a healthy life. She walks at a leisurely pace. She’s never going to run with you, though she has run in the yard a bit with her foster brother… well behind him. She’s so pretty and docile! She would be good in a home with an older adoptive parent or in a home with another small dog. So far, she’s not very comfortable around bigger dogs or fast moving small children. Misti does require a fenced yard to keep her safe. She doesn't know any recall commands and she gets spooked easily. Play (with) Misti? She’s learning. Right now she doesn’t show much interest. But she’s very content watching her foster brother when he chases his toys. She’s sweet and pretty. She won’t be fully vetted with her spay and dental until the end of June. At that time she will be fully available for adoption.” Misti is 6 yrs old, she weighs 12 pounds, her adoption fee is $350 plus sales tax $15.75=$365.75 My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test,presurgical bloodwork, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental and microchipping.

  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.
