Description

Posted Breed: Siberian Husky (short coat). SANCTUARY VISIT REQUIRED Caboodle and his sister Kit were abandoned on the side of the road at 8 weeks old. A rescue organization took them in, and they later came to Best Friends. Born in 2016, Caboodle has a neurological condition that causes him to struggle to walk and to maintain his balance. The cause of his neurological condition is unknown, and in many ways he is very much like a normal puppy. He is a happy, fun pup who loves other dogs, playing in the snow and taking a daily spin in his specially-designed cart. He has an excellent nose and enjoys doing nose work (a search and scenting sport). The biggest challenge in a home will be ensuring that he can safely move around. Also, he is not housetrained, and he can't do stairs or a doggy door. Caboodle will need to find a person or a family who can make accommodations for him while loving him just as he is. Caboodle has a generous sponsor who will cover his adoption fee.

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.
