g still nearby. She would likely get along with other low key, well socialized dogs and should meet any dog she would be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Experience with positive reinforcement to keep learning fun, or willingness to learn. Pea is an older dog with a lifelong medical complication that may impact how she responds to interactions and handling. She would do best with humans who are able to accurately recognize body language and social cues, and give her space as she decompresses as well as when she wants space. [Some Experience/Positive Reinforcement] KIDS: Pea was relaxed on leash but uncomfortable with handling since arriving at TJO; she has grown more trusting of some staff but is still wary of others. Pea had multiple procedures done during her sterilization and is still healing, she will need a quiet place to recuperate with humans who will respect her space, allow her to set the pace, and not attempt to physically interact with her when not initiated by Pea herself. [Adults Only] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Pea is prefecting her napping techniques and has decided that she can enjoy attention from some staff members occasionally; while she is not a `lap dog` she is definitely the sort of pup that would be a quiet companion for whatever stationary activity her humans are doing nearby. Once she decompresses in a home her personality will likely to continue to develop. Despite being a pup who enjoys relaxing, a combination of regular exercise that's suitable (minimal) combined with mental enrichment such as sniffing and food puzzles, will help meet her needs. [Couch Potato] VETERINARY CARE: Pea had bladder stones and mammary masses removed during her spay surgery, she will be on prescription dog food for bladder care the remainder of her life - she has consistently eaten science diet prescription c/d chicken & vegetable stew. Pea will need a good relationship with a vet, checkups every 6 months (or more often if deemed necessary by the vet) will help keep Pea comfortable and ensure any health complications are attended to quickly. [Intensive] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Pea build confidence, bond with her owner, and have fun while learning new skills and some tricks. [Minimal] GROOMING: Regular brushing will keep Pea's coat clean and matt-free; should her coat become matted/tangled consult a groomer. [Regular Brushing / Professional Grooming]

  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.
