I visited Brother Wolf last weekend. Their website featured two pugs who I wanted to meet. This visit made Rescue Daddy and Gracie a little nervous. I love visiting the shelter because you never know what fantastic animals you will meet.
While there, I saw a Weimaraner who is 7 months old and already trained to use Poochie Bells (the little bells you hang from the door; the dog jingles them when he/she needs a potty break). I saw a chocolate Lab and two Shih Tzus. I spotted a beautiful Australian Shepherd and sweet cocker spaniel. All of these dogs looked purebred to me, no mystery mixes.
I hear people say they want a certain breed, not a mutt. You can find almost any breed at a shelter or rescue group if you are patience. In fact, most of the breeds you see on the AKC website have rescue groups.
Before you head to a breeder (or WORSE pet store), please consider your local shelter. These animals deserve a chance to be part of your family.
