Sometimes at the shelter you can find dogs that aren't adults, but just past the "new puppy" stage.
Yup at our shelter we always have puppies! Some are very young, and most get adopted before they are ready to leave the shelter. I've seen purebred St. Bernard, Sharpei, Beagle, Wheaton, etc. We also get a lot of pit, lab, boxer, husky, and GSD mixes.
Shelters also get purebred young adults as well. Just in the past two months, we've had an Akita (most gorgeous dog I've ever seen), great dane, a few GSDs, beagles, Norwegian Elkhound, Boston terriers, a black cocker, GSP, Dobe, boxers, and of course many many labs, pits, and mutts.
If you settle on a particular breed, you don't have to rule out a young or baby shelter dog. Check on PetFinder!
