re put into boarding because the siblings of her owner loved the dogs, but because of housing restrictions, could not take them. The siblings worked hard to get them out of boarding (it was a wonderful place, but the dogs were confused and did not know why they had to leave their other life) and into Foster homes. Hanako ended up in a Foster home on a farm, with a 14 year old boy and his parents, a big yard and a funny little Jack Russell terrier. Hanako and the terrier do not interact much, but Hanako has bonded with her Foster mother and the whole family. Hanako is waiting patiently for her forever home where she can give her heart and soul to someone or a whole family. She would be perfect for an apartment or the suburbs, or the city! She is perfectly housebroken, polite, NEVER barks or even makes a peep. She just needs someone to love her, a warm bed, some attention and some exercise. Hanako is a “young” 14. She has a twinkle in her eye and a spring to her step. She is a Shibu Inu (a Japanese breed) mix and thus a very unique looking dog, who always gets complimented when she is walking in public – and everyone wonders what breed she could be, with her sandy palomino coat, her thin white blaze and her jaunty pricked up ears. She can be initially shy, but always in a sweet, passive way, but once she knows someone she is loyal and loving. She doesn’t ask for much – show her where her dog bed is on the first day, offer her loving kindness, SCRATCH HER NECK (her favorite thing – she will do anything for this!), feed her some good wholesome food, suitable for a senior, and most importantly, promise her a home for the rest of her life so she never has to worry about boarding kennels, Foster homes (not that she doesn’t love it at her Foster home) or being displaced again in her life. Hanako is a funny, loyal, quiet, loving companion, who is just waiting to keep someone company and brighten their life, without asking for much in return!

  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.
