Mercedes:
In the paper there was purebred danes for sale no papers... So I thought what the heck they are probably not purebred but I'll go look. I saw the mom and dad and tons of puppies and they were purebread... So I paid the $500 and reserved my baby and went to pick her up a few weeks later...

Gomer:
We were looking for a male golden, but my mom was trying to make it difficult said she wanted a purebred and would only pay $200. Well we were like whatever your not gonna find a golden for that around here... So one day we were at the petshop and there was a notice on the board male golden retrievers $200 and my mom had exactly 200$ in her wallet she was planning to put in the bank, but we didn't deposit it we went and got Gomer instead.

both my dogs are worth that and so much more!!

Clover was $20 out of the news paper.

Elvis was a freebie his breeder is a friend of ours and gave him to me, although i was more than willing to pay the $500 .

Penny was freebie, a friend of my Mums was given a Jack russell Terrier and was told she had been spayed but she hadn't and 8 weeks later Penny and her 3 siblings came along and the rest is history.

Theodore is a pet shop pup . (Never will do that again)

A little bit of everything, lol:

Kito --we got him from shiba breeders, however they weren't his breeders, they were just trying to sell him for someone else, a woman who was going to show him, but fell ill and had to rehome him and his sister

Abbey --we got her from Nittany Beagle Rescue, she had been transported here from a shelter in Ohio

Riley --I did get him at the SPCA, but he wasn't adopted through them. I met a woman in the parking lot who was going to surrender him, and I took him before she could bring him in.

Jada --we did adopt her from the SPCA

[ramanth]

Kia came from the Capital Area Humane Society in Lansing, MI.

Here's her "mug shot" from their website.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

We got Bitsy from a breeder.
Charlie was given to us by a lady who couldn't keep him
Buster was rescued from an abusive home
and Nacey was a dog we were fostering and found a home, but that didn't work out so she came back and we kept her.

[Pam]

I voted "Breeder" because I got 5 out of the 6 poodles I have had from breeders. Ripley was my only rescue, but if I ever get another dog it will be a rescue. He is as devoted to me as if I had him from birth and such a sweetheart.

[chrissycat21]

Snowy came from a family who's dogs had puppies. The mom is spayed and the dad in nuetered now. She goes back there to visit her sister when we go on vacation,.

[Kfamr]

All three of them came from the shelters.
Kiara and Nala came from the Humane Society of Pinellas & Simba came from the St. Petersburg SPCA.


I would NOT have it any other way.

[MariaM]

Major came from the side of the road Somebody dumped 6 lab cross puppies and their dad (more than likely) on the side of the road about 30-40 minutes from us. A farm near there took them into their barn for a few days. We went to go look at them and my mom ended up falling in love with Major.
(I fell in love with them all!)

[Amber]

Katie came from a pet store

Elvis came from a breeder

[GiantSchnauzer]

I got Zoey, my Giant Schnauzer, from a breeder in Canada(near Toronto).

[ComedyDevil]

We adopted Toby from the shelter when he was 8 months old.

Squid came from a farmer who didn't want him because he was the runt of the litter.

Ollie was part of an unexpected litter of pups, my moms friend's dog was pregnant but the owner didn't know. Her dog has now been spayed.
