    Going to the Shelter this weekend UPDATE!!!!! on last page

    Well, we are finally looking into a second dog. Teddy needs a friend and playmate. we seem to bore him when it comes to playtime LOL. He is wonderful with other dogs and has no problems with new dogs in the home. He's just so easy going. So this weekend coming up we are going to go to the shelter and see if we can find a friend for Teddy.

    We are looking for a dog about 1-2 years of age, preferrably female but it doesn't really matter, and of course someone that likes to play.

    Wish us luck

    THANK YOU for adopting from a shelter. Not only are you getting a new loved one and buddy for your pooch ... but you are saving a life as well! Kudos to you for doing the responsible, ethical and kind thing!

    That is great!! Will they let you bring Teddy so he can help you decide?
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I've always wanted to do that, but I always end up finding strays on the street. They find me first!

    normally shelters and rescues have the dogs meet so they know they get along regardless if the dogs are good with other dogs or not. that's what we do at the shelter where I volunteer anyways. good luck!

    Thats great! & Good luck!
    We never end up with what we're looking for when we go to a shelter. When we were getting a second dog, we were looking for a young, small(as in smaller than Frisk), female dog. We ended up with a male dog.. a bit bigger than Frisk. And we couldn't be happier! =]
    I hope you're able to find what you're looking for. I bet Teddy will be ecstatic to have a new playmate.

    You know I demand pics, and don't forget pics of the ones you don't adopt. I want pics of all of them. Lots and lots of pics.

    Thanks everyone.

    Yes they will have us bring Teddy in to meet the dog to see if they get along, which I am sure they will because Teddy loves everyone.

    We are going to adopt from the Lancaster Humane League most likely.

    I will keep everyone posted on what we decide




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.
