I've seen too many dogs in rescue whose owners died or wound up in a nursing home and the poor dogs were taken in by family that didn't really want them and wasn't prepared to care for them as they should be cared for. This is really a very loving thing to do for your pets. I am so glad for this thread. |
Have you been to the regional forum? Under the big YorkieTalk header is a "regional" link. From there I think Texas is in Southwest. There are Dallas meetups every month. I got to go to one in August and hope to go to one in December
