At the shelter I volunteer at, 4/5 of the dogs for adoption are small <20 lb dogs. At another dog rescue over in Nor Cal, I'd say 3/4 of the dogs up for adoption are <20 lbs. I don't know why this is. Most shelters *never* receive small dogs, especially young ones (one has a 4 month old Shih Tzu. Most of the others are 2-4 years old). Is it because people don't want their Christmas puppies anymore? Going on vacation? Moving to a different place?
