were told could be pregnant. Thankfully her scan showed no babies! Patches is a shy girl at first, but warms up quickly. She will come for lovin and is still not really sure why it feels so good, but she knows she likes it. She is said to be around 9-10 years old. She would be good as the only dog or one laid back dog. S he is happy to lounge around and take in the new scenery. Her foster momma wrote. " Patches is very friendly. She prefers to ignore the other dogs and people most of the time. Patches does get nervous or afraid with loud noises, raised voices and quick movements (especially by men). While she does come upstairs with us, she will spend half her time standing at basement door. (the basement is the access to the yard, typical of a outdoor dog being brought indoors for the first time) Other than her first night, she has been fine when placed in a crate, although she is stubborn and doesn't like to voluntarily go in. Treats are key! She also does well on a leash, but again, she can sometimes be stubborn if you aren't going the direction she wants. She even does fairly well walking with me when not on a leash. We have allowed free roam and nothing has been destroyed or chewed. She really likes the cool floor. :) She would make a great pet for someone without any other pets, perhaps an older person, who could give her all their love and attention." We are taking applications for adoption now thru our website www.oneodgatatime.us. The 30 day hold is up on the 24th. PLEASE SHARE

  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.
