Finding You The Right Pet For Your Family

Why do you want this dog*:

What personality characteristics are you looking for in a dog*:

Adopted dogs experience an adjustment period of several weeks to several months. What do you expect that to involve*:

The first few months upon adopting tend to be the most difficult. Your new dog has been through many transitions, and your home is just one more transition in his mind.

Working through these issues can be challenging and time consuming, please be as clear and honest as possible so we can help you adopt the best possible fit.
