to Iowa. Dizzy is very low key and independent. Her favorite spot is her soft pink bed. She would like a home where her people are home all day or at least aren't gone too long. Being an older girl she needs more frequent potty breaks. She does fine with her foster dog siblings but is totally fine with being the only one. At her age dealing with young ones, two or four legged, is too much work so older kids and older or calm, laid back dogs would be best. Dizzy hasn't been cat tested but as long as they are respectful of her, they should do fine. Dizzy is crate trained and walks well on a leash but moves pretty slowly and likes to take her time. Her favorite time of day is breakfast and dinner and anything in between involving food! She will wiggle her little tail and looks like she is smiling because she is so excited. Dizzy does have food allergies but we were able to find both canned and dry food and treats that are inexpensive and won't bother her. Other than that, she's a healthy girl. If you are looking for an easy to love girl, Dizzy might be the one for you! Dizzy's adoption fee is $200 and includes her spay, microchip and current vaccinations. Last Hope's adoption process includes contacting references, vet(s), and landlord (if applicable), as well as a home visit. Last Hope requires all dogs are to be kept indoors and on heartworm preventatives year round.

  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.
