The Four Legged Search Is On

It’s finally time to start searching for my pound puppy. I have to tell you, it’s looking like it would be easier to find term life insurance quotes than a suitable dog that meets my son and I’s wants and needs.

First of all, I live in an apartment so the dog must be of medium size. Secondly, my complex, as most do, have lease restrictions on breeds, pit bulls being the number one restricted dog.

While I appreciate the ease of use of Petfinder.com, unfortunately, most of the shelters are flooded with Pit Bulls, and scare on most other breeds. Of course, they also list rescue shelters, but most of those places want $200 and up for one of their rescues. I understand that they put a lot of time and money into the pets, but I could buy a new purebred puppy for that.

Well, it’s not like I don’t have the time, so I’ll just keep searching. Too many people rush into buying dogs, and they shouldn’t. That’s the main reason they usually end up in the pound in the first place.
