We did it!! After months and months of looking, I helped my friend adopt a dog out of the Michigan Humane Society in Detroit today. Thanks to the high kill shelter list that kazzyk810 told me about, it made the decision of where to adopt, much easier.

I went in yesterday and checked the puppster out and I had put a $20 hold on him because my friend was working....I also notice he was coughing and sneezing so they were going to check that out. We went in today to finalize the adoption and he was supposed to get neutered on Monday and come home on Tuesday, but because he has upper respiratory, he actually got to go home today. I figured that is what would end up happening, but I thought we were going to have to fight with the humane society to get them to postpone his neutering until he gets better. Thank goodness they let him heal up first.

At one point, I was considering volunteering there...but after today, I just don't think i could do it. Out of the 3 hours we were there, we were the ONLY ones adopting an animal out, but there were people coming in left and right to surrender their animals...and there were loads of people coming in to pick up free dog food too.

So...the new doggie is now at Petco, shopping for all of his new goods!! This is at least the 3rd owner he's had in 4 years and this time he finally lucked out as he is going to be very spoiled in his new furever home!
