€™s clumsily chasing after a toy, attempting to curl up in your lap like he’s a tiny puppy, or sneaking in a surprise kiss, Sphen has a way of making every day a little brighter. He’s unapologetically silly, endlessly affectionate, and happiest when he’s spending one-on-one time with his favorite people. Sphen is an active, intelligent dog who thrives when both his body and mind have something to do. Miles & Mutts adventures, hiking, training sessions, puzzle toys, or even a spirited game of fetch are all right up his alley. Once he’s had a chance to burn off some energy, he settles in beautifully and is more than happy to simply enjoy your company. He’s a smart boy who knows the cues sit and down, appears to be potty trained, and walks nicely on a leash. Like many enthusiastic dogs, he can occasionally get a little bouncy when he’s excited, but he’s eager to learn and responds well to positive guidance. Sphen is the kind of dog who truly enjoys training because it means he gets to spend time with his person. One thing we’ve learned during Sphen’s stay is that he hasn’t had much experience socializing with other animals. While he’s made progress in many areas, dog meet-and-greets have shown us that he still needs help learning appropriate canine manners. Because of this, Sphen would do best as the only dog in the home for now, with an adopter who is willing to continue his training and socialization at a pace that’s comfortable for him. He may also be too enthusiastic for a home with small animals. Above all else, Sphen is a dog with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. He doesn’t strive for perfection—he’s far too busy making people smile. What he needs is someone who will embrace his goofy antics, continue helping him grow, and give him the love and consistency he’s been waiting for. If you’re looking for a loyal adventure partner, a comedian, and a best friend all wrapped into one wonderfully unique dog, Sphen is ready to meet you.

  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.
