older female dog, and would likely do well with another `role model,` a well socialized dog who can provide positive dog-dog interactions. Lily should meet any dog she would be living with prior to adoption. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone experienced with positive reinforcement, or willingness to learn would be best, especially with a young pup who will need guidance. [Some Experience] KIDS: Lily can be anxious in new environments and around new people. An anxious pup will need to decompress and take time to feel comfortable in a new environment. Giving space when requested and going at her pace will go a long way in developing trust and helping her feel safe. She may be bouncy at times and unintentionally knock children over. Her best fit will be with older children who can respect her space and understand body language (link about body language under the RESOURCES tab on our website). Minors and dogs should always be actively monitored to be sure everyone is safe and comfortable. [15+ (dog savvy)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: When fully comfortable Lily loves to run around, interact with her trusted people, and enjoys outings & sniffing. As a young pup Lily will need someone with a schedule that allows the time and commitment needed for a developing young dog. A combination of regular exercise, combined with plenty of mental enrichment such as food puzzles, games, sniffing time, and learning new tricks will help meet her needs and prevent boredome. As a young dog she'll also need plenty of rest in between. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: Regular visits to the vet will help Lily stay happy and healthy. [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement and effective management will help Lily learn important life skills and fun tricks, create a strong bond to her guardian, and help build confidence, all while having fun. [Moderate] GROOMING: Brushing and baths on a regular basis will help decrease shedding in the house. [Minimal]

  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.
