Good luck in your search and maybe you can still leave your hert open to rescue another dog down the road. |
Yes, I have checked numerous newspapers and online classifieds in my area. Unfortunately, I live in an area surrounded by not so good areas and most of the classifieds who are "re-homing" pets or placing pups are all asking $900+ which to me, sounds 1. suspicious & 2. crazy.
A friend of my just sent me a text about 20 minutes ago though, that a local shelter she volunteers at is receiving three goldendoodle puppies (which I have another affinity for) next month (when they're all fattened up and old enough) from VA that were rescued from being euthanized(they were actually being carried out from their mother when the rescue group arrived
). Apparently, people are looking out for me.
Hopefully by then, I can come across a little yorkie to add to the family as well.
