It's a common misconception that you can't find a good dog in a shelter - and the more people that know it's not right the more dogs that get adopted. Thank you for posting this.

We cannot begin to imagine WHY the previous family gave her up (we were told they were having another baby).. she is an incredible dog.. and fit right in to our family (including our whippet)..

No other progress yet on the first dog or the pittie. There is some interest in the chocolate lab. Another UPDATE: In addition – The two puppies have a rescue interested in them.

Dogs require effort to train and maintain. When people realize that there is work involved to owning a dog, they often dump the poor dog at a shelter. The dogs usually are not given up because of some problem with the dog but because the owner was generally clueless about what dog ownership involves. You can save yourself a great deal of money and find a great dog by rescuing a shelter dog. Besides, it's just a plain good thing to do.

In fact, the shelter is our first choice for dogs so as to keep our money out of the hands of puppy mill operators. Support your local shelter! Save a life!

Maggie our Mastiff came from a shelter in NJ and she is the most loving dog. She was brought to the shelter 2 times because people couldn't control her. So not the case, with love and training (Maggie had a jump on people problem) she has become one of the best dogs that we every had! Out of 4 dog (3 are Mastiffs) she is the one that listens the best and walks on the leash the best. From my experience with Maggie and my cat Marco, I would adopt from a shelter in a heartbeat!
