, lb - Must be the only pet in the home. My name is Potter and nobody wants to adopt me. I&#;m old. My vision is less than perfect. I want to be the only pet so I can be your spoiled prince. I never get any inquiries. I&#;ve had to live for over a year at my foster home in a separate room away from the other dogs here. I&#;m tired of being ignored. Where is my human? Who&#;s gonna give me my happy ending? If you&#;re a fan of old curmudgeons, then talk to my foster mom. Yes, I am yelling, damnit! Let&#;s get on with this already! I&#;m currently in foster in WV, but transport is available to northeastern states. Potter is a mutt with hair that grows long and needs grooming, so perhaps some Maltese or Poodle in his mix. His hair is probably closer to Maltese than Poodle. He&#;s about years and weighs about lb. OLD INFO THAT POTTER DOESN&#;T GIVE A RAT&#;S ASS ABOUT: /5/ update: Potter is now healthy and ready for his forever home! This little guy loves people and loves to eat! He&#;s a senior and his sight is not good and seems to be getting worse, so it would be best for Potter to be the only pet and live in an adults-only home. He is paper trained but not completely housebroken. Potter hoards things and loves to sleep on his foster mom&#;s clothes...he takes comfort from her scent. He likes to rough house with his foster mom. At this point in his life, he basically wants nothing to do with other animals. Potter is a people pooch seeking a retirement home! years lb. Potter has been in foster with us since 7/6/. 7/6/ Intake Condition: severely matted and crying because it hurts to move. Found maggots eating at him. Blood work was a mess. He was unwilling to eat at first. Clearly Potter was at death&#;s door when I found him. 7/ update: Before and after photos uploaded. Before=July 6th and after = today July th We still have a long way to go physically but mentally and emotionally I can already see the change 7/ update: Yesterday evening I got home and checked on Potter- he was fine, happy to see me, had eaten most of his special food, had drank lots of water and had peed three times on his puppy pad. A hour later I go back in and run his bath & he won&#;t stand up, is whining, and is growling at me. So I call doc and we decide that it&#;s his skin. It obviously hurts. We stop the steroid just in case and gave him some pain medication I had on hand- continue the antibiotics. A little bit later and he was fine so I was sure it was his skin. All checks through the night and this morning he is his regular self. Took him in to see doc for labs and his liver is way off, his WBC count is up and his platelets have stopped going up, so we&#;re stopping some meds, starting others, changing food, and shooting for an ultrasound tomorrow. He needs a liver biopsy but is far too unhealthy to survive a surgery. So we&#;re still in the woods. Currently he&#;s riding shot gun and is pain free. On the bright side, Doc was really happy with how his wounds are healing. 7/ update: Potter&#;s liver ultrasound was good.

  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.
