Why is everyone assuming that all adult shelter dogs must have issues. Its not like every shelter dog is vicious or will turn on you out of the blue. MANY, MANY, MANY of them are perfectly wonderful, loyal companions who have been thrown in there by their so-called "families" for stupid reasons like moving.
Aly you are so right. I am sorry if my post was one that sounded like that. All I was trying to say is that, at my age, it was much easier for me to choose a breed that I was familiar with and also a size that was manageable for me. I know that the shelters are filled with lovable pupsters. I chose Ripley (or should I say that Ripley chose me) because of his loving little personality that was evident even inside that cage. I know there were many others there too that would make wonderful pets. I stand corrected!
