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

Of the eight million pets that enter Animal Shelters and rescue groups every year, approximately three million of these healthy and treatable pets are euthanized due to a lack of adoption. While there has been steady progress on the issue, the continued euthanasia of our best friends and family members is a national tragedy.
Adopting a pet is a life-changing and enriching experience. It not only saves an animal’s life, but adopted pets also provide unconditional love, affection and attention. Research has even shown that owning a pet has many positive psychological and physical health benefits.
Presently, most people do not obtain their pets from shelters, but rather from pet stores, the Internet, friends, breeders or other sources. In an effort to change this trend, The Shelter Pet Project is designed to encourage pet lovers throughout the country to make shelters and rescue groups the first place they turn to when acquiring companion animals. Campaign ads use humor to give shelter pets a voice and break down negative stereotypes; contrary to popular beliefs, animals most frequently find themselves in shelters due to owner-related issues.
At the http://www.theshelterpetproject.org users will find information about how to adopt from a shelter, as well as a fun matching tool designed to help potential pet owners identify traits to look for in an animal. Based on results, it will even supply a list of suitable pets avilable in local shelters. Other fun and interactive tools are also available, all in an effort to significantly increase the rate of pet adoption.
