ing, and making new friends at doggy daycare. She is a big fan of balls, rope toys, and squeakers! Soft blankets are one of her favorite things on this earth, and if given the opportunity she will sleep under the covers curled up next to her human (though we have been successfully crate training her). She does great with dogs of all sizes, though she can be a little nervous in new environments when she's on leash. She whines when she is excited, but I have yet to hear a real bark out of her outside of a dog daycare setting. She LOVES meeting new people, and will greet everyone with a hug and a kiss! She has done well in many different environments, but takes time to learn how to signal for a potty break in a house as she is used to a smaller apartment. She is good with dogs, cats, kids, apartment living, new people, and even the ball python she met! She does have a prey drive though, so any small animals should be kept out of her reach and handled while she is crated, especially if they are on the floor. She's a true rat terrier, through and through, and would probably excel at barn hunts. **Ginny is heartworm positive, but will be undergoing treatment for it** URGENT: needs a temporary foster home, while we work to find a forever home.

  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.
