Why Not Get A Shelter Dog?

I love those shelter dog commercials where the dog is talking.

Anyways!

This lil ball of loving fluff was a stray.
He was thrown out and left on his own.
After finding him we waited in the front of our house, he came to our back yard, for his owner to come looking.
Nadda.
Went to 3 vets and had him checked for a ID microchip.
Nadda.
Had the vets put up “Dog found” flier things.
Nadda.
He was seemingly unwanted.
He would have been sent to the shelter if we hadn’t found him.

Yet as you can see there is nothing wrong with him.
Though there was something really wrong with the owner to leave this guy to fend on his own :/

He’s officially ours now and in prefect health :3
When I found him he was so skinny I could see every bone in his body, even through his thick fur I could see his ribs.
Now he’s about 16 lbs I believe it was and has the prefect body fat ratio :3
He wakes me up every morning with this act, rolling around and pawing at me for more attention.
He’s house trained and gets along perfectly with our other 2 dogs.
He even likes my bunny, though I limit their interaction to sniffing each other.

And I think most people worry how the dog is going to be around kids.
This lil guy is amazing with kids. He never bites or even nips.
And is extremely gentle with kids of any age.

He’s about 2 years old, maybe 2 and a half now. We’ve had him for about a year. So he’s not gonna leave us any time soon :3

So next time your thinking about adding a fuzzy kid to your family, why not think about getting a shelter dog :3

    @Lizethdarocker I know right I always try and pet them. Thinking even just one good experience might lead them to trust at least one person again.

    And you’ll laugh at this, I call him MonkeyButt >.>
    It started as a joke but he responds to it, that and Monkey, Mucky and Spunky :3

    I need to update my google chrome then, it never corrected me O_O

    I get sad when I see all these dogs in the shelter and are crying out for attention, and some plainly don’t want to be touched ’cause expirienced probably taught them to fear everything.
    D:
    What’s his name?
    (P.S. Nada only has 1 ‘n’)
