animalDid you ever consider adopting a dog rather than buying from a dog breeder? These dogs or puppies can have more behavioral and health problems than puppies from a good dog breeder but you can also get a dog or a puppy that is easy to train and a joy to your life from a shelter. Nothing is guaranteed with any dog or puppy you bring into your home whether they are freebies, purchased, or adopted.
Petfinder is a GREAT site to look for puppies or dogs to adopt.

Jessica Simpsons Malti Poo (Maltese and Poodle Mix) was stolen by a coyote late Tuesday night evidently.

Daisy is so cute it’s heartbreaking. Most sources think the dog is a goner which is horrible but it reminds me that there are coyotes everywhere and they love little dogs. Especially little white dogs that wander around lawns alone.

I love Petfinder. Both my dog and my cat are rescues and so is one of my mom’s dogs. I try to remind people as often as I can that there are great animals out there but it’s hard to get through to some people. I heard a statistic that something like 60% or more of dogs in shelters are actually purebred. My brother has gotten three dogs from breeders and just won’t listen to me that you can find specific breeds at the shelters. He has gotten two boxers and a Maltese from breeders.
I know many of the animals @ shelters are just as attractive and have just as many breed specific characteristics as do those from a breeder. That said I’ll explain, I’ve seen bichons from a breeder that were huge and pink nosed with lots of apricot, all “bad” things in bichon land supposedly while there are bichons @ shelters and rescues that are small, black nosed, and mostly white who aren’t adopted for long periods of time.
Off soapbox now, husband still won’t let me have another bichon or I would have one in a heartbeat.
