Oh, what to do, what to do?! We innocently walked into Petsmart today with no idea there was an adoption event going on! Well, I made the mistake of walking past it and fell in love with this 5 month old black lab named Jake. We walked him around the store for forever and he was the sweetest, calmest lab I had ever seen. When I spoke with the rescue, they said Jake was that calm even in his foster home. You should have seen how nicely he went back into his crate, too! I’m going to sleep on it, but I really think he wanted to come home with me! Are three dogs and four cats a crazy number?
Oh, and the rescue lady said they had 35 yorkies coming in from a puppy mill that closed down in Kentucky. She said they were just beginning to arrive here in Illinois and they all had to be vetted and evaluated, but they would be available for adoption soon. I told her I would post on YT when they all started coming in, but here is their website:
Welcome to Tails | TAILS Humane Society: Serving the community of Dekalb Ilinois One of the cool things they do is require a $75 training deposit in addition to their adoption fee. You’ve then got 6 months to provide proof your dog has received basic obedience training. The woman said they found this really cut down on the number of dogs brought back to the rescue. I certainly think it’s a brilliant idea.
My heart totally melted for Jake, though... And I know black dogs and cats,
especially large black dogs, have a hard time getting adopted. What's a girl to do???
