it .caninelifeline/adoption-process/ for more information about our adoption process and to submit an online application. Meet Connor, a handsome and loving 8 month-old Lab/Shepherd mix neutered male who was found as a stray with his sibling Bindi. Both were taken to the local shelter and when they weren’t claimed, made the trip to Canine Lifeline so each could find a great new home. Connor is a fun-loving boy who has had a steep learning curve since arriving at Canine Lifeline. It’s likely that Connor and Bindi were left to fend for themselves for some time so living in a home environment with all the accompanying sights and sounds is new to them. Connor is now walking better on a leash but will need lots of practice on that in his new home. He adjusted well to his crate and has had no accidents in it. He definitely waits to go outside so should be able to pick up the housetraining rules in his new home with some patient and consistent direction from his new family. Although he wouldn’t do it for the camera, Connor “smiles” when confronted with a situation he finds confusing. It’s quite charming when he does it but it may catch some people offguard if they’re not expecting it. Connor is going to need a family who has the time and energy to devote to an active young dog but the effort will be rewarded with a loyal and devoted companion for years to come. Connor gets along very well with other dogs so he would do best in a home with a canine pal to help show him the ropes. Connor weighs about 41 pounds currently but we expect he’ll be 50-60 pounds once full-grown. His adoption fee is $250. He’s neutered, heartworm negative and on monthly preventative, up to date on vaccinations including bivalent canine influenza, wormed, on flea and tick preventative, and microchipped. As part of the adoption process, all adopters must commit to a two-week adjustment period to make sure it’s a great match before the adoption is finalized. Please email infocaninelifeline if you’re interested in Connor. An approved application is required before we schedule meets with any of our dogs. We have no foster homes with young children so aren’t comfortable placing any of them in a home with children less than 7 years of age. We try to respond to inquiries within 72 hours so if you haven’t heard from us within that time frame, please check your junkmail or spam folder to make sure our reply hasn’t landed in there. Please visit our website at .caninelifeline to see more photos of Connor and to submit an online 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.
