We're looking for a new dog. Some might say it's too soon, but I feel differently (and strongly) about it. Sure, I have selfish reasons, like the fact that I want that wagging, happy tail to greet me at the front door everyday. Or that I want a little dog following me from room to room. I'm okay with that.
I want to save another dog. Oliver was lucky enough to be adopted and I want to help another one. I'm a big supporter of pound puppies and adopting. Rather than spending thousands of dollars on some purebred, AKC registered dog, I want to get the one that's unique and just as smart as the "pure" dogs. I want to give my love and affection to another dog who deserves it just as much as Oliver did. I want to offer up a home and my lap. Because all dogs deserve that, whether it comes with AKC papers or a Humane Association training video.
Adopt.

I agree and support your decision. Go out there and save a puppy's life!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your dog passing. We just rescued a dog on Saturday. It would absolutely break my heart if something happened to her tomorrow or 2 months from now.
ReplyDeleteI found Linda on Petfinder. She was at the Cheatham Co. Animal Control Shelter. Let me know if I can help you look. Good luck in your search!
