exactly!! Basically, the first person to give them the money and fill out two pages of info gets the dog. And its SO easy for anyone to lie about past dogs, living arrangements, and everything. I do worry that the poor guy will just go to another home that ends up neglecting him, letting him turn into a walking mat of fur, letting the infections come back, etc. I know my aunt would never, ever do that to a dog. Her dogs were SO well taken care of, they lived to 16 and 18!

I think she really loves Pekes too ^_~. . I think she has a soft spot for Lhasas, but I'm sure she'd look into a Peke is there was one for adoption! She really doesn't want to go to a breeder, go through puppy hell, and everything, when she knows how many shelter pups need new homes.
