Default Animal Shelter

Hi! thanks for the advice. I have looked at the animal shelters in the area, but they don't have any. My mom adopted a cocker spaniel from the local animal shelter, and thats what I had in mind, but it hasn't worked out that way for me. I was hoping to get a small dog so that when I go to see my grandmother on the Sunday afternoons I could take the dog inside with me so that she could let it set on her lap. course thats not the only reason for getting a dog, but it brings some joy to her. She loves dogs, but when she had to go to the nursing home she couldn't take her dog, Bobby-Sue, with her. After just a few months of being in the nursing home Bobby-Sue died. I was so heart broken for my grandmother it took me weeks to tell her about her dogs death. You would be suprised what difference something as small as a dog can do for older people in the nursing home. I just wished they would let people, like my grandmother, keep their animals with them when they have to go into the nursing home.
