m a puppy mill where the companionship of other dogs is all he's had. Someone home part of the day to continue his housetraining by letting Luke out every 3-4 hours or you will come home daily to accidents. ​ Luke is being fostered with his sister, Leah. We were considering that they get adopted together but we think Luke would do fine if there is another young dog in the home. We think, Luke is more attached to Leah than she is to him. We feel Luke would adjust better if his new home has another young and friendly dog in the home. We mention friendly because he is a puppy and can irritate older dogs. Luke is beyond adorable in looks and personality. He's as gentle as a flower. His face actually looks like a flower. ​ He walks up to you to gently kiss your hand. He loves to lay on your lap and receive cuddles. He is very gentle. He weighs 7 pounds so we're asking for homes without young children because dropping this tiny cutie could result in a broken leg. Luke was rescued from a puppy mill in Korea. He was rescued with his sister, Leah. Luke bounds around any room he is in. He enjoys playing with other dogs so keep this in mind if you have older dogs. ​ His foster parents let him out for potty breaks every few hours and he's doing AWESOME! He NOW will eliminate within minutes of being out in the backyard. We are requiring that his new home has a securely fenced yard. Luke is known for getting through openings so please keep this in mind if your fence is not dog-secure. We’re hoping to find Luke a home where his parent is home most of the day. That’s because he needs a break outside every few hours to help continue his housetraining. A dog walker who comes 2 times during the work day would be sufficient. He LOVES food and treats and is a very smart little boy. Application - https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form10/index.html

  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.
