I hear ya. We have a no-kill shelter here, and I've been there bunches of times but the small breeds go fast, and dogs like mine usually go to members of the board if dropped at the shelter.
Both my girlfriend and I originally wanted to go the shelter route, but she has more money than God, so little Ruger showed up a few days ago.
Anyway, I won't, but if I did pimp out my dog would I have to drive a big Cady and wear a fur coat and hat with a feather in it?
