Awww! That first puppy looks so sad! 
This is the guy I'm looking at and may be considering adopting... http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/...?petid=7477657
There's no pic, so no juicy stuff for anyone out there.  He's only 66 lbs though small for a male, and Jenny is much better with male dogs then female. And fawn is my favourite colour. Him being 66 lbs is what's really interesting me, I want a male, but so many seem to be in the 80s in lbs. Too big for me.  my mom doesn't want a senior or a puppy, and he's 3, so that's good too.  |

Adopting a dog can be a very monumental decision to make. If you are determined to adopt a pet, make use of updated technologies that will help you better choose an appropriate dog. Dog shelters and other animal clinic offer a personality assessment that will determine the dog breed that best suits your characteristics and lifestyle. This personality quiz, with the assistance of animal welfare workers, will aid you in identifying the breed and age of the most convenient pet that you should adopt. | |

| Re: If you could adopt any dog...
I remember there was an older black toy poodle in the shelter about two years ago. He knew the basic commands (sit, come stay etc.) and walked well on the leash - he never pulled me at all. I had considered adopting him for many days - to the point that I had a dream about him. However, I kept convincing myself that I couldn't take care of him because of his grooming needs and because I don't like the "look" of a poodle. When I finally got the courage to inquire about him I found out he had been enthanized the day before!!! Many passed him up because he was older ( about 5 years old), black, and had a few health problems (I found out his medicine would've only cost about $30 dollars a month!)!! I was so sad that I cried for days!!
If I could just turn back the clock, I would've taken him home. This is one of the very few mistakes I truely regret. | |

Aw..I have to have a friend with me at adoption events so I don't take them all home.
I love this girl: http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/dis...petid=13662947
She was actually pulled from the shelter that we adopted Amber from eight years ago. They turned into a kill shelter due to low adoption. ):
And this is my BEST FRIEND, Timber. http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/dis...petid=13772047
He looks alot more like a pit bull, in person. The only reason they have him as a mix is because of his fur texture. But, Oh wow, I love him. Every Saturday I get so excited to go and see him. He is the friendliest, happiest dog. Ever. He loves other dogs, and is jumpy on people so he can lick lick lick. He went from starving, depressed dog in a high kill shelter, to Lost Dog's kennel, to a foster home, was adopted for a week, and is now back at the kennel. ): I want him so bad. | |

If I could adopt any dog I would still choose Nanuq. I love her quirks, fears and all and she definately needed a forever home. I can't imagine having a different dog. The next dog that I adopt will most likely be another Eskie. | |

I have been drooling over a Rottie on Petfinder for months and months. We go down to meet him June 21st, provided he is not adopted out before then.
So.. this isn't a hypothetical question for me. If I could have any dog... I'd pick him (provided Luna picks him too... she has to have some say in who becomes her big brother!) | |

Definitely a Saluki or a Borzoi. There's nothing stopping me, except I just don't want another dog right now. I have a baby and I want to treasure the time I have left with my senior. It'll be one of those two eventually, or one of each of those two.
And, later later, we'll get a couple of Goldens probably too. But that will be way down the road, when my son can help and we're back here for good and both home all day. | |

I don't think I could get anything better than my Elli Belli. She is the picture for my avatar and signature. I guess if I had to get a new dog I would get...
1. Lab
2. German Shepherd
3. Coonhound (it has been my dream to have one!)
4. Collie, maybe.
6. Bulldog
7. Pitbull
8. Most of all I love Lab/Mixes, that is what Elli is.
Those are my favorites. | |

Both my wife and I have found that while doing "rescue" work, we never adopt the animal, but it is the animal who adopts us  |

Next time I get a dog, there's no doubt about it - nothing beats those short-legged dogs that inspired a sausage! Dachshunds, of course. hehe. | |
