I think you need to adopt Sparkle the cat to keep an eye on him. ;)

Wolfy: Better get Buddy chipped then. I'm planning on getting Gidget chipped, because I don't trust her not to take off either (though so far she's been good)

ALL dogs should be chipped.

Sad news (at least for us). The neighbor who had desserted the Min Pin had actually given him away to some friends of theirs down the street, but failed to tell us that. They just said they had gotten rid of him, so we assumed (I know bad) that this one was trying to return home and was being refused. Wolfette took out Buddy for a walk this evening and found the new owners who were carrying a picture of this exact dog. They had been wandering the streets looking for him. Wolfette of course returned him and they rewarded her with $25.00 cash.

Hubby and I decided that since we were all ready for dog ownership that we'll get another one this weekend if we can find one deserving. If anyone has a smallish dog that needs a home we would appreciate a PM. We will be looking at the Shelter this weekend and checking Rescues for a year or so old pooch to join our family. The OC Register also has a pet section for dogs/cats that need a good home, we'll be checking that also. Heard that Pet Smart has adoption needs also, another option.

There is a list of all of the breed rescues on the Haute Dogs site. Thing about what type of dog you might want, do some research first and don't be in a hurry to get a dog. This is a LONG commitment and you want to make an informed decision - then go to a rescue. If you want any info or have any questions about different breeds, please ask me. I have have contact with quite a few different breeds.

Thanks Lisa...I've got your number.

Yes PetSmart has adoptions for dogs on Sundays usually. If you are looking for a small dog smallish dog you could start there. It is a commitment and a long term one.

You could also check a local shelter (especially if it isn't a no kill one as there are dogs on dealth row there needing homes).

There are rescue groups out there too i found a chihuahua rescue group that is located in Burbank.

Good luck with your search for the perfect dog.

i just want to add that when CM and I adopted Lucy and Ethel we didn't care what kind of dogs they were at the time. We were ready to get a dog and they just so happened to be needing a home. I can't imagine my life without them in it and i do not want to go with a big breed dog again after having them. I love small dogs. :)

Orange County Animal Shelter has a LOT of small dogs.

OC shelter has a lot of a lot of dogs. And chickens.

Here's a little guy we found on line this morning. Wolfette has already set her heart on him. I will find out how to meet him later on today.
