Don't let her size fool you, inside that tiny package is the heart of a guard dog. She wants to let you know when she feels anyone is in danger. She has never had boundaries in her short life so we have been working on them to make not only her forever family happy but especially her so she knows not everything has to feel like a threat. When we are on a walk and if she starts to bark at someone or something we say, " thank you for telling me Daphne" and the next time we say " leave it" so she learns she doesn't need to be concerned with it but that her help was appreciated. The barking has gotten so much better, she only does it once or twice and then moves on with our walk. She doesn't like the top of her head kissed and that's just fine because she is a pug through and through and loves to sit right on your lap and feel like the princess she is. Daphne loves her brother Niles but sometimes their puppy play can get too emotional and each will need a little time out like brothers and sisters can. Daphne came from a home where there was a fenced in back yard and for that reason we are still still working on potty training. She will poo and pee on the pee pads that are left out for her. The vet says it is something that can happen with stress and transition. She pees on our walks so is getting better! She also does not love a crate, she will do it but doesn't love it. When I leave, the doors are shut on the rooms they don't need to be in, Niles has his belly belt on and Daphne has her pee pads left out and all is well. I have only had Niles and Daphne for a short time, but they are amazing, loving, learning babies. They both LOVE their human with all their heart and each other (most of the time) Niles & Daphne do not do well with cats. Niles & Daphne can be adopted together or individually.

  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.
