nd, but he's also quite satisfied curling up with someone and just being a companion. A favorite pastime is snuggling under a warm blanket in bed with his people. Brooks gets along with other dogs, but usually he doesn't play with them and would prefer to play with his toys, either by himself or with the special people in his life. He'd be comfortable in a home as an only dog as long as he had someone to play with and to shower him with plenty of love. About those toys...Brooks is probably most enthusiastic about them. He loves to charge across the yard and fetch toys, but he doesn't like to give them up to just anybody. He has to be really comfortable with you first. His foster parents are working with him to play nice and drop his toys for someone to pick up and throw for him to fetch. Nevertheless he can still be a bit possessive of his beloved toys and, as a result, should not go to a home with young children. Brooks is house-trained and sometimes will go to the door to show you he wants to go outside. However, when he first arrived in his foster home, he staked out some territory by marking a few spots. Intelligent and trainable, Brooks has learned some commands and tricks. He'll usually spin or walk on his hind legs for snacks. He also walks quite well on a leash and loves to take long walks. So you think that Brooks sounds like a great little dog who'd be fun to have in your life? Well, we enthusiastically agree! Check out more pics of Brooks at http://imageevent.com/newrattitude/brooks. Our adoption fee is $175 for adult dogs or $225 for puppies under 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at NewRattitude.org/adopt.htm. From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.

  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.
