As I mentioned, the fall adoption event and pet carnival was this past weekend. Gracie and I dropped by on Saturday. Several adoption groups were there.
I was struck by the variety of breeds available. I suspect some people think only mutts are available for adoption. While you could certainly find plenty of them, I also spotted several distinct breeds: boxers, Yorkshire terriers, Shih tzu, Jack Russell terrier, et cetera. You could take your pick.
I know some people may want a specific breed. I strongly encourage you to consider a visit to a shelter or rescue group if you are one of those people. Also, go to petfinder.com. You can enter the name of any breed, and the search engine will give you results for available pets in your area.
That is what I did with Gracie. I knew I wanted a Jack Russell. The search generated three in the area. Two had already been adopted, but Gracie was still available.
Please consider adoption as an option for adding a new friend to your family.
