| The Petfinder Addicts Anonymous Thread Anyone else have a problem with viewing Petfinder? I always tend to do a quick peek every night searching for that perfect dog. I know some people who already have too many dogs even do it, too! Ha! So this thread is for us, and the dogs we want, but know we can't have. Currently, I am wanting these dogs BAD... (they have listed as JRT mix but I think he looks like a total Yorkie mix). He's the first picture. Scrappy is a 3-4 yr old male Wirehaired terrier/Jack Russell mix who is looking for a new forever home. He weighs about 18 lbs, and is an all around cute little fellow. Scrappy's owner is pregnant and can't take her allergy meds during her pregnancy, so Scrappy is looking for a new home. He is housetrained, neutered and up to date on all his shots. This is one nice young man who deserves a great home. He is fine with children. His adoption donation is $300.00. We require a fenced yard if there are kids under the age of 12 in the home. Here's the second dude, who looks like Jackson's twin! Rudy is a highly active, adorable sturdy little yorkie, more a family dog than a foo-foo dog. He's 13 lbs, 3 yrs old, neutered, up to date on shots and healthy. Rudy LOVES to run. He needs a fenced yard, an active young little dog to play with. His previous owners thought he was "anxious", and we are trying to determine if his running is circles is energy release or anxiety. Either way he needs a yard and attention. At night if you are sitting on the couch he'll be calm and sit with you. He rides well in a car, is a kisser, loves playing with children, play fetch, likes baths and tons of attention. He knows "sit" and "come" so the basics are there, and he is really housebroken and knows "time to go potty". Being a small dog, however, he can't hold it all day, so he must have a home with someone home a lot, with a fenced yard and another active dog so they can run and chase. With all of his medical done, his adoption fee is $300 for this young dog.

| Yes! Is that "Sam I am?" What a cutie. I think he also had some things like no kids, etc, that wouldn't work for us. Unfortunately.

| Yep, that's him. I have the same problem, most seem to not want to adopt if you have kids under 10.

| I belong in that club. There's no way I can afford another dog. I look all the time anyway and torture myself...I wish I could rescue them all! People must think I'm crazy....sometimes I look when I'm at work and someone will come up behind me and say "are you getting another dog?"....they look at me like I'm weird when I say "no, I just like looking"

| I totally have this problem! I'm always looking at petfinder and the available puppies at rescue organizations, but it's not possible for me to get a second right now! But those sweet little faces are always calling my name!

| lol why do we do this to ourselves? We enjoy the torture? Even if I go on Petfinder in my area there rarely are some if any so I end up looking at the ones in the states and there's no way they will adopt out. But let me tell you I found this little guy don't know there's just something about that wittle face, he looks like quite the character....... oh well whoever will get him will certainly have a blast.

| Brit, you are too funny. I managed to curb my Petfinder and rescue websites addictions. However, I found out that keeping in touch with our breeder and giving her updates can be just as dangerous. We started talking about dogs and she said Max sounded like a boy she kept from the same parents: long legs, keen nose, loves walks. That's how Teddy came into our lives. |

| I use to be on petfinder at least 3 times a day. No, I'm not kidding. Then Kaji came and now I'm only on there once every few weeks. I SOOOO want yorkie #2, but I'm scared. What if Kaji doesn't like him? What if Kaji would only get along with a girl? (I the boys) What if I can't handle 2? UGH! I'm already freaking myself out and I can't have 2 yet. But if I could, here's the little boy of my dreams. Teddy Boo's Special Story Adi saw his profile while he was still in a city/county shelter. We were going to spring him from doggy jail until YTNR beat us to it. Now.... I'm off to check petfinder.
