October is Adopt A Shelter Dog Month ... I Did My Part

I hadn't planned on adding any babies to the family, but after we lost our DDB in mid-September unexpectedly I started looking at local shelter websites. In early October, I saw a picture of a 3 yr old Mastiff that looked like a dark grey version of my DDB ... so I had to go visit him. He had some health issues that had to be addressed, so they weren't sure when/if he would be available for adoption. While I was there, I fell in love with a 3 yr old GSD and was able to adopt her. Finally, after 2 weeks of calling the shelter 3 times a day - the Mastiff was cleared for adoption and I was able to bring him home last week.

 

They have been great additions to our family.

@Wahoogaz You are an angel GOD sent here to help others.  I wish I knew you in 'real' life because i think you would make my heart grow.

 

We are lucky to have you here on the QVC boards with us.

 

I have 2 cats (from shelters).  My Billy has had quite a few medical issues lately and my best friend who helped me get him and his sister tells me it wouldn't be good for Billy right now to bring another animal in my house, otherwise I'd adopt a dog.

You don't often see such beautiful dogs (or purebreds) at shelters.  At least, not in my area.  Mostly pit bull mixes at my local shelter.  I hesitate to adopt a pit bull or pit bull mix as I have a dog and young grandson who visits often.

 

At any rate, bless you for adopting them @Wahoogaz.  So glad to know that they fit right in with your family.
