If you could adopt any dog...

DogAdvocat · 06-18-2007, 10:07 PM

I've always dreamed of having a silver male standard poodle. However, I'll probably most likely save the next space for a puppymill mama. I like the idea of being able to be a soft place to land for a dog that's been through hell.

I would have to go with the dog with no manors, and can't get adopted out.

I am so happy that this sweet older golden will have a forever home for his remaining years-

Did the adoption go through? We need an update!

I would adopt this westie named Bailey but she's in California, and even though I
live in Utah, it's still pretty far away!!

My next dog is either going to be a Saint Bernard or a Newfoundland and while I was just wasting time on petfinder I found these adourable Newfys. I wish I could take them home

There was a 6 month old Rottweiler male in Oregon I would have loved to adopt. In order to get him home it would have cost me more then if I had bought a dog from a breeder. I just can't swing it right now. too sad.

My next dog was going to be a dachshund, but then I was on Craigslist and someone adopted a pit they couldn't keep... w. no teeth, and I have decided to atleast foster him (maybe adopt). Fate kind of falls in your lap... or atleast Cecil did

ebony923 · 07-05-2007, 08:16 AM

Whats Craigslist??

Anyways I have a post in the General, explaining about him and asking for some advice...

I would adopt this beauty...

I don't understand how or why anyone could dump a dog alongside a road. It makes me sick just thinking about it

OMG she is just beautiful! Poor girl... I hope someone gives her a good forever home fast!

I dream about rescuing a dog some day. I want a dog that is older but other than that I'm open. I noticed that several people have mentioned greyhounds. I frequently visit my local greyhound rescue sight to look at the dogs. What can you tell me about rescued greyhounds as pets?

beaglesarethebestdogs311 · 07-07-2007, 08:40 AM

I would rescue as many Beagles as I possibly could! I am all for the Beagles! I love a lot of breeds of dogs, BUT I LOVE BEAGLES!

They are so great! My Beagle is a animal shelter rescue. And she is the best Beagle EVER! She used to be so scared but now she's lovable!

Poor girl... She's pending adoption now, that's great!

Beagles: Yes, sadley there are a lot of homeless beagles, probably because they follow their nose, so they tend to run away.

Pheobe was a rescue, too.

And retired greyhounds make wonderful pets, what would you like to know about them?

I would adopt all of the dogs like this. young and healthy, never had a chance to run as fast and as far as they could, just for the hell of it... and they never will.

beagle owner · 07-16-2007, 10:53 PM

I love everything I read and hear about greyhounds but I wonder if one would be right for me. I work, so I wonder how they would do while I was gone. I am a teacher so I have pretty good hours but what would they do when I'm at work? When and if I do adopt I definately want an older dog because I want a dog that is happy just hanging out with me. I also want a dog that can get enough exercise around the house or in the backyard. I was afraid a greyhound would require a lot more excercise than that. I have a seven year old beagle but she is unusal. She will stay in her crate at night but HATES! to stay there during the day. She would rather be outside. Our leather loveseat is her spot but most of the time she wants outside even when we're home. If I get another dog, I want to find one that would rather to be inside with me. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE my beagle girl, she's great! She just isn't a real cuddle bug. Anyway, I love the idea of a greyhound, I just don't know if they are right for me.

dogswithnohair · 07-25-2007, 10:21 PM

I just love dogs so since this is just a "what if" question...........my dream is that I win the Powerball when it is up around $300 million and with that money I want to buy about 1,000 acres of land someplace not to hot and without the harsh winter weather. I would want to build a huge facility and rescue, rehabilitate and rehome any and all dogs for which I had the money. I also want to have a really comfortable, homey upscale dog kennel and grooming facility along side of the rescue. While I gave my heart away along time ago to the Papillon and Crested breed I still love every dog (well almost everyone - there have been a few that have been kind of mean) and my heart aches when I see or hear about any dog that is homeless or abused. I am a huge animal lover in general and as the saying goes "The more time I spend with people the more I love my pets".

Generally I prefer smaller breed dogs but I grew up with Collies, Shephards, Huskey, etc. and I got my love of animals from my Mother whoI think was the original "Dog Whisperer". I don't think I have ever seen a dog, cat or other animal who didn't just gravitate towards my Mother. Somehow they all knew that she loved and would take care of them.
