Selecting Shelter dog 4 House Dog

[smkie]

Lol..one will speak louder than the rest. IT's like the dog that finds you. IF i am ever superstitious about anything it is the dog that sits on your door step..or lays on the road in front of your car. When they choose you it is something extra special.

EVen my mother told me to take Victor back, about a dozen times. I just worry that people will go into a shelter and think the way a dog behaves in there is the way it will be when you get it home. Even when you get them home how they behave maybe seriously different from how they behave a few weeks later but you know that already.

I do believe that looking at petfinder is a good way to start the selection process. You don't have the guilt of leaving them behind when you walk through. YOur more able to start making a selection and seeing a broader range than going to a facility. Plus many have been pulled from the kill shelters and are in rescue situations so more is known about them.
