C - NE & beyond )as well as a web site ( www. First HopeRecue.com) We are mostly a Saint Bernard rescue, but we try to help many dogs in need. So we will have other breeds for adoption. Also, we have connection with may dogs in need, so if you need help finding a dog please, email and would love to help with finding the right fit. Because all dogs are Saints but only one breed is a Saint Bernard! When looking for a forever home we look at the applicants that we already have applications from first so please follow this link for our application: click here We look at applications as a dog comes in so the dog might be able to find a home without being posted the application is not binding and not long to fill out. We see the application as very important but also talking and matching the right dog with the right person and the right person with the right dog as VERY important. FYI: When a dog is listed as good with children we need to remember that these dogs possibly out weigh the child that they live with, and possibly the child will be eye to eye with the dog. Therefore it needs to be remembers that these dogs are still animals and will react to pain or discomfort in anyway. The dogs also have temptations like many of us and have trouble restraining themselves ie.. Children with food in their hands or waking on a leash and al of the sudden have a desire to go another way (could you child control that, well maybe they can't walk the dog for awhile until the dogs habits are known.) Many times we see "accidents" that could have been prevented but the dog gets blamed. So even though in our society we tend to personify a pet due to the bond that is formed with them. We look for people and families that want that bond! We need to remember that these are large dogs and love them that we also protect them from anything happening. Application: CLICK HERE Thank You!

  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.
