Don't get discouraged. When you find him all the time spent will be well worth it. Did you think about just walking around in the local shelter and seeing what you can find?
My sister works at a rescue in a small town and she has found potty trained yorkies at kill shelters and other small breed puppies. Right now is puppy season so I'm sure they're there. It's important to go directly to the shelter and let them know what you're interested in. Many kill shelters don't have the time or money to invest when someone drops off a mommy dog and her 10 babies so unfortunately all of them end up euthanized. So I'd advise you to take a trip down there and if they don't have what you're looking for just leave your name and phone number. Maybe they will call you as soon as a dog like that comes in.
You can also call some rescues and ask if they need fosters. That is a good way to figure out what kind of dog you want. My sister is always looking around for foster volunteers in her town. They're a valuable asset to her rescue since she doesn't have a facility all of the animals. She doesn't even charge any kind of membership fee to be a part of the organization, she just screens people. So contact the rescues and give them your name and number as well.
Good luck! |
