joined the 4 Lucky Dogs family, and we’re excited to help him find the fresh start he deserves. Cruise was lovingly owner surrendered after increasing challenges with the toddler in his previous home. While these decisions are never easy, his family wanted to give him the opportunity to find a home that better matches his needs. One thing is certain—Cruise absolutely loves his people. ❤️ He wants to be involved in everything you’re doing, happily following you from room to room and soaking up every cuddle he can get. Having come from a busy household where someone was almost always home, he truly enjoys companionship and being part of the family. This boy has plenty of energy! Whether it’s going for walks, ‍‍➡️racing around the yard with the zoomies, exploring hiking trails ️,or splashing in a kiddie pool, Cruise is always ready for his next adventure. A securely fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus for him. Cruise is potty trained and has done wonderfully during his first few days in foster care . He also enjoys car rides and loves plush toys—although they usually don’t stay plush for very long! When crated, having a durable chew toy helps keep him happy and occupied. As with many dogs adjusting to change, Cruise does have a few things we’re carefully evaluating. He isn’t comfortable having his paws handled, especially for nail trims, although he tolerates a Dremel much better than traditional clippers. He’s also cautious about having his belly touched by people he doesn’t know and can become anxious around loud noises, yelling, or sudden movements. We believe much of this stems from trust and uncertainty in new spaces, and we see that dogs often blossom in foster care once they feel safe and secure. Cruise has never really been socialized with other dogs and would do best as the only pet in the home. During a recent outing with our amazing Orlando fosters Rizka and Alex, he reacted by barking and growling at a large dog, reinforcing our belief that after almost 4 years with no routine exposure to other dogs, he will thrive in a home where he doesn’t have to share his space. He would do best with older, respectful children only who understand how to give dogs their space. As always, we take owner histories into consideration, but we also know that rescue dogs often surprise us. The environment they come from isn’t always the environment they’ll become. We’ll continue getting to know Cruise, helping him build confidence, and updating everyone as we learn more about this handsome little guy. So far, we think his future looks incredibly bright, and we can’t wait to watch his journey unfold. Welcome to the family, Cruise! ❤️

  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.
