I think the type dogs you find in shelters is regional. (And I know I've had this conversation here before.) Here, the smaller dogs overcrowd and the lab mixes are the first to find homes. At PetSmart adoption days, they say they always bring labs, beagles and hounds because they know they will be able to place them. And you rarely see a purebred of anykind in a shelter unless it is really sick or something like that. |
