Pound puppy- save a life & if it's a mutt, less vet bills down the road. Plus they "just know" you saved their lives.

I gotta admit, getting Honey from the pound was one of the best things we ever did. I am so glad we waited and spent time looking for her, though she is purebred.
POUND Puppy. Your Saving a Life! My Boss recently got a "Purebred" and LO and Behold, it turned out to be sick and from a PUPPY MILL!!! Please Adopt from the Local POUND.

Oh, pound puppy for sure! Or pound kitty for that matter. Unless or course one wanders up and needs a home. They are the VERY best of all!
Yeah, I got a Pound Puppy 12 years ago who is PRICELESS and one of those "wander/needs a home" kitties too, and he is FANTASTIC!!! lol!

I have a Min Pin that I got from a breeder for a fraction of the cost, as he was deemed"too big" and unwanted.He is a little chubby, but so what.More to love.I have an adopted dog that wandered up. He is a Shepherd, Chow, Pit Bull mix. The animal shelter told me if I did not keep him they would destroy him. So here he is, laying on my bed.I have a Siamese, an orange tabby, and a white cat. All adopted from the shelter. I love them all, and they are all"worthy" to me.

ITA Anny! We have a pastel torti rescued from a vet clinic, a Siamese calico from the shelter (partially deaf, which is why no one wanted her ) & a lab mix pup from the county vet. We also had a golden retr. mix, but the 2 dogs did not get along & it got to the point where we found a good home for her & the ppl LOVE her as well! They get on my nerves, but then so do my kids. I love them anyway!!!

All the dogs we have had since we were born were "free" dogs.
The two dogs we have had my married life were "free" dogs. Both times at Hubby's work someone's dog had surprise pups and they personally picked out one for Hubby.
He gets to announce when we are getting a new dog. "Honey, Guess what, We are getting a new puppy"
I get to announce when we are having a new baby. "Sweetie, Guess what...."
Our dog is a pound puppy too. He looks like a black min pin. I got him from the "back" of the pound. Those are the ones who are going to be put to sleep that day. I think he is one of the best dogs we have ever had. He seems to "know" we saved him. He has been very healthy too!!!
