She acts like there is a shortage of puppies in this world! I like the idea of taking her to a shelter and letting her see all the little souls who will never find a loving home! My boyfriend rose highly in my esteem when he went to our local shelter when he decided he wanted another cat. He didn't get a kitten, either. He adopted the sweetest little torbie princess who was 6-years-old! She is a "Daddy's Girl" all the way and can't love on him enough. I always tell him, "Why shouldn't she? You're the one who took her out of "that place" and brought her home." So few get this lucky break and your friend should see this firsthand.
