wns and blacks, showcasing his Bullmastiff, German Shepherd, and Coonhound breed. Adopted from Safe Haven 6 years ago as a young dog, he has lived a fantastic life with a family that still love him dearly. His kind disposition and lengthy list of dog tricks is a testament to the genuine love and care he has received. Sadly he has found himself back at Safe Haven following an unfortunate bite accident with their young child involving a resource guarding incident. We will share the complete information regarding the incident with any potential adopter interested in Dominic, and we do know that his next family will need to be a child free home. We do also feel like Dominic is most likely to succeed in a home where he is the only pet as he does now have this history of resource guarding, and also can be reactive to certain dogs. We also know that Dominic had been nothing but sweet and affectionate in his adoptive home for the entire six years, and that is also the same dog we are seeing since his return to Safe Haven. He has not shown signs of aggression at the shelter, and we are continuing to learn more about his personality. He passed his vet exam on Wednesday, July 22nd with flying colors as no health concerns were noted. The next step was to have him evaluated on Wednesday, July 29th by a professional trainer to see if there are any behavioral concerns that may inhibit his adoptability. Dominic did great during his assessment, and the trainer agrees he just needs a new home without children - but otherwise he is officially good to go! Dominic is ready for adoption into an experienced home without children that understands the importance of patience, management, and continued positive reinforcement training. Our goal is to ensure he is placed in a home where both he and his future family can be successful. His first adoptive family truly believe Dominic deserves a second chance, and we couldn’t agree more! With the right adopter that understands his needs, he has every opportunity to become a loyal, loving companion for his next family. If you're an experienced dog owner willing to invest in a dog who simply needs someone to believe in him, Dominic may just become your most devoted best friend!

  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.
