See Rescue and Shelter Pets for even more adoptable dogs.
You want a purebred? What breed?
A Golden Retriever? There are hundreds of adoptable Goldens!
Today there's also over 900 Dalmations, over 600 Dachshunds,
more than 800 Bassetts, more than 1500 Cocker Spaniels,
and more than 700 Poodles listed on Petfinders.
Are you looking for something more rare?
There's over 100 English Bulldogs... almost 300 pugs.
Obviously many of the dogs are not pure bred.
Dogs are listed according to their dominant breed...
There are purebred dogs and mixed breeds.
In many breeds, like Weimaraners, for example, more than half of the adoptable dogs really are pure bred.
Mixed breeds are also very beautiful dogs and equally wonderful pets.
What an assortment you'll find! I found some adorable blends -
like a Weim gray-beagle that will forever look like a Weim pup.
What would a Bassett- Dalmation look like?
How about a perfect Bassett with ears on the ground,
wrinkled legs, turned-out toes and dalmation spots all over.
That one was adopted in just a few days.
You want a puppy?
Unless a litter has been rescued, there are usually not many very
young puppies, in the 8 week old range, looking for their first home. But... there are many young dogs, barely past puppyhood, still under 1 or 2 years old.
