off to the shelter today

Good Luck! have fun!

Hey Skipper, they let you bring it home right then and there? The shelter down here won't let people bring a dog home at first, they make you come back after a couple days to pick the critter up. Anyhow, congrats on your new "family member"!!

our second Golden Retriever, DUKE, the big one....is a shelter rescue.....a two time internee into the pound, and is my favorite...

yes, he barks, and digs....and chews....weighs close to 125 lbs.....but he is a joy....

wife was contacted by the golden retriever rescue folks and went to "see" him.......2 hours later he was at my house.....

Trojan,
Enjoy your new friend, had a corgi when I was younger great dogs and very loyal. Nothing like having someone meet you at the door when you get home wagging his tail, always happy to see you.

I've had nothing but shelter dogs, matter of fact I got my last one a year ago. We call him our designer dog, a Begador, Half beagle, half Labador. goes to all my sons games with me. Nothing better than an 70 lb. lap dog.

Oh, do come back and let us know how the trip went!

As I shared in that thread to which you're referring, we lost our lab that was almost 13 during that time. However, our Pepper is a pound puppy that 15 1/2 years old. She was a year old when we got her from the pound after I saw her on a weekly spot on the news. She's my girl!! Shelter dogs are great!

Trojan,

We have a Corgi. She is the biggest coward and most lovable dog ever. Real smart too. Only drawback is that they shed.

Good for ya'll.

We have 3 dogs all rescued.

My currect dog a 22 lb female Westhighland Terrier is not from a pound---she replaced, within three days, the previous westy that was from the pound---also had a 150 black lab that was a returned seeing eye dog who I had known as a pup

Cannot have a house without a dog

We got all the paperwork done; the dog, George, is in foster care right now so on Friday we are hooking up with his foster-master and we get the leash... the last time we got a dog the first night we had her was the absolute worst lightning storm we had in years... the poor dog was scared out of her wits with new surroundings and the tremendous thunder.

Kudos to the Trojan-Skipper household.

Congrats trojan-skipper. Welcome to the new member of the family!!! You'll have to share a picture when you can.

Well how's it going? The new dog home & happy?
