My family has always has pure breed dogs but I decided to find a puppy in need of a home. She is the best dog I have ever met and only cost $20.00!
She was supposed to be a golden ret. and lad mix, but she looks like a white lab, I guess she is full grown(1.5 years old) and is 68 lbs. If I knew how to post pictures I would. She is the cutest doggie ever, she does have a shedding problem, but I have hardwood floors and "swifer" everyday!
Her story: A family friend who owns a farm found her tied to a tree when she was 3 months old (10 lbs). She had ear mites and mange. She is in great shape now but has a little bald spot on her nose...it's cute. She is very gentle, I think if someone did break in she would cuddle them to death.
I could go on and on, but I would never go anywhere but a shelter to get an animal again. It is so sad that so many animals are in need of homes.
