If so, give them a call. There is always a pup needing a home.

That thing about them being grateful is true.

We would never go private again.

You need to wait for rescues from elsewhere. On the upside, we have very few unwanted dogs here. On the downside, it’s hard to find furbabies to adopt. Even though our shelters are no-kill.
