I’ve been looking to adopt a dog, but i haven’t been able to find any good Adoption agencies. I would either want a Maltese or a Yorkie. I did find this puppy on craigslist but that ended up being a fraud. Any help would be appreciated.
Check on http://petfinder.com Put in an area code for NYC & hit the go button!!!!

I want to work with kids and I would like to work at an Adoption agency and become one of the higher people there…what do i need to do?
Yes, you need to go to college. You should major in social work, and you will probably need to go to Graduate school as well if you really want to become one of the ‘higher’ people.
Does anyone know any good International Adotion Agencies?
Money is not the problem. I don’t understand how I would go about adopting from another country. Can someone please explain the process? Can someone recommend an Adoption agency, maybe one you’ve used or a friend to adopt a child
Can you be a little more specific? Is there a particular country program you’re looking at? There are some large agencies with many country programs and some smaller ones with only a couple of programs.
Here are a couple of sites:
www.adoptionagencyratings.com
www.jcics.org
www.informedadoptions.com
Also look at the US state department sites on intercountry adoption (it’s country-specific). A good overall look at the International Adoption process is presented in the book "How to Adopt Internationally."
IA is a daunting process. Parenting adopted children from another country has a lot of challenges. Start by information gathering. Email me if you have any specific questions.
Best of luck to you.
ETA: Sorry, I’m having trouble adding the links!
I’ve searched everywhere online and can’t find any decent contact information for New York state Adoption Agencies. My husband and I are looking into adoption if we find out that we can’t have children.
Does anyone know the age requirements for either in state or international?
Hi Hott Kiss,
Here is some information for adopting from New York:
Adoptive parents in New York must be at least 21 years old and pass a criminal background check. Either married or single parents are welcome as well as both homeowners and renters.

I was turned down by two Retired racing Greyhound adoption agencies because I had a child under the age of 5 years. Thankfully, I found “Elite Greyhound Adoptions” in West Palm Beach Florida.
The Founder of this organization seems to feel the way I do… Not in every situation is a large dog right for a small child, or the child right for the dog. However there are many times when both the right family & right dog can come together & make a perfect match.
As I’ve learned over the past year, many retired greyhound adoption agencies have very strict blanket policies. They will not waiver, even in cases where common sense is staring them straight in the face.
We had a large retriever “Marylin” that had to be put down after a very expensive fight against cancer. This dog was large & sweet but often clumsy and would bump into our 3 year old daughter. She was used to this and familiar with having a large dog. Our other dog (a small mutt) is a fear biter. Our daughter knows & respects the fact that she cannot pet this dog because there’s a good chance that she’ll get bit. She fully understands this and she’s never tries to pet her unless we are there supervising.
This being our background, and having explained this on my initial adoption attempts. I was blown away when I was first turned down for a 6 year old retired racer that was missing a front toe and walked with a heavy limp. “Flash” He had been with the agency for a really long time waiting for someone to try and adopt him. They just about came short of hanging up the phone on me when I said that I had a 3 year old daughter in our home. (This was a large Adoption agency)
Since then, and to my amazement I’ve found that many adoption agencies have the same type of “absolutely not” attitude when it comes to adopting retired Greyhounds to families with small children.
Thankfully, I found Elite Greyhound Adoptions. After being interviewed both over the phone & our family in person, they felt comfortable with adopting to us. We adopted a very sweet 3 year old black “kid friendly” greyhound. Our family fell in love with him. Four weeks later we adopted another very kid friendly 3 year old brindle from Elite. I will never own another type of dog, as long as there are Greyhounds out there that need adopting. These are the sweetest, best behaved animals that I’ve ever encountered.
I felt so compelled by Elite Greyhound Adoptions willingness to “think outside the box” that I used my film production company to create this video. It highlights this great organization and these wonderful creatures.
Beyond adopting to families with small children in the right circumstances, they also take in Racing greyhounds with serious injuries like broken legs. I’ve found that very, very few organizations will do this because of the huge expense associated with it. They often take in injured dogs from the other greyhound Adoption Agencies that won’t take them.
They are truly an outstanding organization. They are doing a lot of good for both these animals and the many people and families that have adopted them.
Enjoy the video and if you want to be apart of this great organization please go to their website and donate. They’ll appreciated any amount and it will certainly be put to good use. elitegreyhounds.org
By the way the black & brindle greyhounds shown several times in a fenced yard are my wonderful dogs “Jack” & “Ozzy”. That’s my daughter with them as well. She loves those dogs so much. She puts pink tiaras on them all the time and they don’t seem to mind. They are both very tolerant & sweet with her.
Regards,
The Fogle family
