We've adopted a pet from the shelter!
Today, we adopted "Adorabelle" into our family from the Animal Control Shelter on Mt. Vernon. We're excited to have a new addition to the family. There were a lot of other wonderful pets there just waiting to be adopted, including a lovable dog named Bob Senior, who we also came very close to adopting (we had to choose a smaller pet because our home is small). I hope somebody adopts Bob! The saddest part of the visit was when we were leaving, a woman was arriving to drop off her two dogs because she had been laid off from work and had to move; she could not take her dogs with her. I hope everyone adopts from the shelter, what wonderful animals! A lot of Chihuahuas too--why pay hundreds when you can welcome one into your heart for pennies? MP 9 comments from 6 users

Both of my pets are rescued dogs, they always seem to make great companions. Your new one looks really cute. As much as you are so excited about getting her, I bet she is 10 fold more excited about having you as her mom/dad! All of you win! posted by

Oh, she looks like my pup, who we emancipated from the Bakersfield SPCA. Congrats on the new addition and remember to post more photos as she gets settled in. posted by

Two of our three cats are from the SPCA. My two boys and I went in with the anticipation of only adopting one. After seeing all those pleading eyes and sweet faces, it took everything I had to stop at two. posted by

Three rescues here :-) 2 just showed up in my front yard (one in 2007, one just this past april) - so we took them in. The smallest one had been hit by a car and had a cracked pelvis but he is OK now and quite a hoot!! Believe it or not, they all get along! The lone lady (cindy lou who) we adopted from the shelter in Kernville. posted by

Congrats on the new dog. Most of my cats, except the oldest, are rescues. The oldest was born to one of my parents' cats who got outside and pregnant at 7 mths. Just goes to show why the recommendation is to spay at 6 mths even for indoor-only pets. posted by

What a beautiful dog! My friend Lieng Tron adopts dogs every week but I think she ends up givng them away to friends because they always seem to disappear. My cat Mr. Cyril II is a rescue cat - a big fat ragdoll persian who weighs about 12 kilos - well he's about as heavy as 12 sacks of dope my friend Q. cooks up. He's a great cat though - he just lays in his bed, endlessly staring off into space and never moving or eating or having a bowel movement. The only downside to having him is for the past several years he's had this foul stench about him. posted by

It's comments like BillionareBartley's that makes me wish bad taste and sick humor alone were reason enough to click the Report Violation button. posted by

Speaking of bad taste, Lieng's cordon bleu tasted a bit weird to me! It snagged on my canine and darn near yanked it out it was so tough!
