Once he opens up he is chatty at times and gets quite exited if you start making jungle type noises. He is very sweet and seems to do well with other dogs. Jiggs may have been abused by a man and he tends to cower but is great with women. He is quite the gem who once has a little more training under his belt will make an exceptional companion for some lucky person. Jiggs d oes okay alone and will whine and cry sometimes, but he tended to do well when left alone, as long as he was left gradually and he had been relatively well exercised. He loves to play! He'd often bounce off the walls and dive into a play bow or try to wrestle. Jiggs could definitely use a bit of training there, as he can be a bit intense. He pulls fairly hard at the beginning of a walk, but after 5-10 minutes he does pretty well on a leash and also pulls hard if he sees a small animal. He doesn't pull that hard for other dogs though. Jiggs is very chatty. Not so much "woo woo woo", but more whining and groaning/grumbling noises. It's really endearing, especially when you're scratching/petting him and he lets out a big satisfied groan. He’s a nicely proportioned chunky dude with a gorgeous coat who loves to run in big circles like a pony on the 20’ lead. He actually looks more like a panda when he is running at full speed. He rides very quietly on the back seat and seems to enjoy looking out the window. Jiggs is very friendly with other dogs. He met some other huskies on a hike and he seemed to get along with them really well, and even tried to start playing. An aggressive dog also confronted us and he handled the situation very well. Overall I'd say he would be great in a home with other dogs, especially since they could help teach him "dog manners". Great walking/running/hiking buddy. I took him out for a 5ish mile walk on the lake trails near my house, and he handled it like a champ. He also loves to run, so I think he'd make a great exercise/adventure partner.

  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.
