Thank you for planning to adopt a dog from a shelter. Consider just seeing who touches your heart instead of focusing on a specific breed or mix. There are so many wonderful homeless pets looking for someone to love.
I’m thrilled that Adam’s family will be looking at bringing a shelter dog into their family. Please though, do not say that they will be “rescuing” a dog from a shelter. The shelters are the ones that rescue dogs and cats from awful situations – puppy mills, abandoned in foreclosed homes, owners who chose to not provide vet care. People ADOPT pets from these shelters. Animal shelter staff and volunteers love these animals as if they were their own pets.
