The Dog/Cat Adoption Zone

[madmonkeygirl]

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.

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.

Oh, what a face. He is really cute.

My dog is chipped. Every time I open the front door, there is he is, ready to make his move. When my mom visits, he always makes a break for it. He knows she's not quick and agile enough to cross the threshold fast and he takes full advantage of her arrivals and departures.

We adopted him through a rescue. Everything I'd read about Cavaliers made me want one, and the woman at the rescue said she'd never heard of a bad Cavalier. I should call her up.

Just remember, if you do too good a job keeping your current pets alive and present, you won't get to experience the joy of new pets as often.

Is the trade-off really worth the effort?

The little Goldiedox looks cute. What an ODD combo for a dog - not to mention the mating procedure! Goldens can be great dogs and they are usually fairly chill (i've met a couple of odd ones, though). Doxies are pretty barky and opinionated but adorable. It would be interesting to see which of the personality traits this guy inherited. The rescue will probably put you through a pretty thorough test and set of questions before you are allowed to adopt. Just be aware of that.

Heh, I was thinking the same thing, but I don't know that much about it so I didn't say anything. To hear you say it, it really must be odd. Huh. I guess the Dachshund was the female?

And so true about the adoption procedure. I was thoroughly interviewed before we got our Cavalier.

I have seen some odd combos. Pom-Chow is one odd one and a Lab-Chi is another.
