Let's face it, when you're ready to adopt a new pet, you'll know the right one to adopt when you see him...or her. A funny tilt to the head, a bent ear, a look in the eye...whatever the trait, you'll know your new best friend the instant you see it.

Sum up those qualities and the total is...adorable. If one of the featured dogs this week catches your fancy, contact the rescue groups below for help in how to adopt your next best friend.
