| Adopting a Shih Tzu at a shelter I'm so excited... Honestly, I have never tried checking out shelters. There are a lot of dogs in need of homes . I was one of those people where I felt it was easier to shop than adopt. Since becoming a groomer, I feel I have such an open mind and open heart to all dogs in the world. Don't get me wrong, I've always loved dogs no matter how small or big. I just never thought to look for one in the shelter. Wish me luck everyone! P.S. I plan on adopting a big dog too. What do you guys think of Siberian Huskies?

| I think it is wonderful that you are adopting though a shelter. Over the years many of my pets came from a shelter and I never had any regrets. There are so many animals out there that need homes it gets overwhelming. Good luck with your new pet(s). |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | That's wonderful. I volunteer at a no kill shelter and walk the small dogs. It is so rewarding to help them so I can imagine how great it must feel to give one a forever home. Good luck!! Huskies are beautiful but I have heard they are runners and you have to make sure they are securely fenced in when outside. Don't know for sure just what I heard.

| Didn't get the Shih tzu =(. I'm upset because when I called they said she was indeed available, but when I got there they told me that there's 5 people that had been on the list for her. These are reasons why I didn't bother with shelters before because it's hard to get the one you want. I will, however, continue my search. I love Huskies and I think they are gorgeous. I heard they're hyper dogs though. I just wanted to see if any of you guys own one and what your thoughts on them were.

| I already have my dream dogs =). I just would like to rescue one that is in need of a home. I'm actually helping my little sister find one, but I'm the one who will be taking care of it most of the time. It's hard to find purebred dogs in shelters and when you do find one, there's a list of people interested in it. I feel that's the reason end up shopping for dogs because it's so easier to find, which is sad because they end up buying from byb or puppymills. I have a hard time at shelters because I would cry just seeing the poor babies waiting for homes or they're wondering why their owner abandoned them.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Huskies can be a problem to your neighbors, they don't like being left and howl till you return.
