this thing called Chase-book so people looking for a dog can find me. It’s a little scary, but here goes ... I’m Dottie! I’d bet the ranch I got my name because of my snowy white coat with it’s one big black polka-dot on it. Speaking of ranches, I was born on a farm in San Martin in May 2015, where I lived with a big family, my sibling, and a bunch of distant relatives – dogs, goats, and even horses. But, me and my sister were “oops” babies. My person wanted to keep us forever, though he couldn’t give us the life we deserved. And that brings me to you. I'll get back to that in a minute. My first few weeks away from home were hard. I wanted my life, my furry friends, and my people back. But, in time, I’ve grown to like my new animal house, including my foster person, her two dogs, and two cats. I’m learning to walk on a leash, l like to play with my foster siblings, and I've even become a cat-girl, too. (I love the dogs. But cats, too? Who knew?) I guess you could say I'm beginning to come out of my shell. I'm a world-class snuggler, fetcher, and impressionist. (I do a great Chewbacca!) I prance like a deer, and dance at the sound of dog food being scooped, my foster mom’s car pulling in, and the magic words "it’s time to go for a walk." Now, back to how you can help me. I have just one wish: I wish for gentle, patient people to love me and a quiet place to call home. And, for someone to help me build my confidence too. If you can make my dream come true, I'll love you forever. PS - Pardon the typos and auto-(in)corrections. Alfie and I typed this on his iPad. And, the cats were no help either. Amirite? ____ Dottie's fixed, chipped and up-to-date on shots. Her tax deductible adoption fee is $250, payable to St. Francis Animal Protection Society. Want to meet her? Submit an application!

  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.
