One thing I would caution you about getting dogs from shelters is illness. Definitely quarantine any new shelter dog you bring in to your home. You never know what they been vaccinated for or IF they have at all. Also, some illnesses can take several days for symptoms to show up from the time of exposure, so even if a dog appears healthy at first, still quarantine! |
Great post...It is a little tough and you do feel a little sad for yourself but you are so happy for the little one that now has its own home...
I agree I kept the shelter dogs away from my dogs for 10 days and they saw a vet immediately...
