Aw, DvlshAngel985, that's so sad! You know, I wonder if the shelter people are being discouraging to test your interest level? I know when people come into the rescue I'm at, the staff is pretty nonchalant. I think it's because they want serious, not impulsive adopters. Just a thought.

Also, I was looking at rescues in SoCal, and I saw this guy a month ago: Adopt a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie: NIKNAK in S.CAL: Petfinder. He's filled out really nicely. He looked rather pitiful when they first got him. That rescue in particular seems to have reasonable requirements, though the dogs are still around $600. That's a lot of money, but I think it's about as cheap as you'll find in LA. I don't know what other dogs they have, but when I look at the change in that one, I'm thinking you should pick a scrawny, sad-looking one because they'll probably turn into a serious cutie with some TLC.
