Great article. Thanks for sharing. I love my pound pups. They make the best pets, IMO.

The ABSOLUTE BEST pets if ever had came from the shelter.

I've adopted pure breeds before and the high cost didn't get me a better pet, just a much more expensive one.

See an animal for what is in it's heart, not on it's pedigree.

That's a wonderful article! Both of my dogs were from shelters, the first one SPCA and the current one from a high kill shelter at the end of her time. I will always adopt from a shelter, they are just so happy. I don't know if they are happier than other dogs, but it's nice to know they were liberated

Great article and I loved that they featured a black dog in the pictures . Remember our discussion on Black Dog Syndrome?

There are soooo many dogs and cats losing their homes right now - a big uptick in the numbers due to the economy and the crash in the real estate market .

I have never regretted getting a dog from the pound . Thanks for posting the article, Brightdoglover !
