he realizing that playing with another dog is more fun then by herself. She has also learned to walk on a leash and adores car rides! She has learned to do steps! She is fully pee pad trained and slowly getting use to be going outside to enjoy the big beautiful world. Up until recently that world was not so nice to this southern belle. She, of course, still adores her treats. That's not such a bad thing, it motivates her to get over her shyness with new people! Say hey y'all to Paula Dean! Miss PD is an 8 yr old, 18 (!) pound female shih tzu puppy mill survivor. And yes she enjoys a good meal it seems! Paula Dean is learning to be a pet now! Although she is shy at first with humans, but treats always wins her over! Her foster mom really likes to spoil her! She loves to be the boss of the group- and can be seen stealing all the toys and hoarding them. She tries to dominate her fur brothers, but what girl doesn't?! She is pee pad trained, and working on becoming completely housebroken. She is fearful of the leash, but that will come with time and patience. She will require a fully fenced in yard as she will run if you reach for her and another submissive dog in the house ( remember she is the boss, no aggression but will try to mount the other dog). An adult puppy mill rescue does best with another dog in the home to give them a level of comfort and model behavior. Please research some of the challenges associated with puppy mill dogs. She has stiff back legs, so a home with limited steps would be best for this lovely lady! She can be a bit barky when she wants her meals and treats! Older children will be fine - she wants a calm and quieter home. She does well with children, but they do scare her and cause her to hid! Miss Dean is right on the verge of blossoming - wouldn't you like to right all the wrongs she endured? Paula Dean is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated, heartworm neg and has been given a dental. Her adoption fee is $275 - please apply on our website! Paula Dean's adoption fee has been sponsored for $50 - you can now adopt her for $225!!!

  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.
