Hello Everyone :-)

I am brand new here, as you may have noticed. My name is Lissa, and I am 26 years old. I was born and raised in New Jersey. My aunt bred pomeranians and my mother had an affinity for them, but her other sister absolutely adored yorkies and I have always had the even softer spot in my heart for them. Altogether I think that myself and the world of small dogs are bound and determined to live in harmony in one way or another... lol.

I just moved into my own apartment on October 11th. I live in Brick, NJ. That is right next to Point Pleasant, just to give you folks a place that is a little larger to relate to, geographically. I did move out when I was 20 but I have always had roommates or lived with family. Now I am in a pet friendly apartment on my own. I am currently collecting SSI because I have injuries to my neck and low back (severe disc herniations) and am awaiting funding to go to nursing school.

I am on a very limited budget, but I would adore a lil furbaby in my life! I have done a lot of looking, and I knew right from the get-go that I wouldn't be able to go to a breeder, of course. Money-wise, that would be out of the question... so I figured hey, why not rescue a pupper in need? Well.. then I saw to my despair that even the rescuers sometimes wanted up to 700.00 even for a dog that was up to 15 years old... 'to support the general rescue of all of our animals, old, young, healthy... etc.'

I completely understand this concept, I am right there with you on the concept.

But I can't do it, myself.

:-(

So, here I am. Alone in my apartment. Well, currently at the library because I don't have a computer yet, my aunt is building me one.

And.... puppyless! Argh!

So, I understand that I am brand new here. And I firmly believe in finding our furbabies good homes. So, if anyone out there knows of a doggie that needs a good home in New Jersey and can extend that pupper to me without charging much, I would be happy to take that doggie in. If you want to wait to get to know me some then lets chat some more.

My email is professalissa@yahoo.com

I will be around every few days or so, as I said I do not have a computer right now. I know this is a really long post but for any of you that are truly animal lovers... (and I know you all are...) You might know how lonely an empty apartment is when you want a friend! Specially at the holidays.

So thank you for meeting me, and it is nice to be here... and seasons greetings to you all
