Taking on the responsibility of a dog is hard work. Rather that selecting a dog based on their look, consider the type of dog that will fit into your family’s lifestyle:

Do you have a fenced yard big enough for a high energy dog to get lots of exercise or do you plan to take your dog for walks on a leash?

How will your new dog affect the other animals in your home? Do you have cats, or chickens (some dogs love to chase things that run.)

How much time can you dedicate to the love and attention your dog needs? Do you want a dog that will go everywhere with you, or are you a couch potato and need a dog that wants to lay at your feet while you watch TV?

Do you like to comb dogs with hair or would a "wash and wear" dog better fit your family?

If you have children, you need a dog that loves to fetch. Fetch and Hide-and-Seek are the games children should play with dogs rather than running games.

We Love these dogs! We want them to succeed and live long, joyous lives ... because we’ve made that connection with them. And something wonderful has happened to us! We want you to feel that connection with them, too!

Please, ask lots of questions about any dog you’re interested in adopting. Think about your lifestyle, and how this new pack member will fit in. We have all types of dogs. We’ve got them started on their training. It will be your job to love them for the rest of their lives.
