lol, Is this true? I've never gotten a dog from a shelter before. How bad are they?

They're not bad. A lot of doggo show up just from people moving and not able to take them.

Avoid puppers the staff are having difficulty with. They'll let you know that stuff though.

got my puppy from a shelter when he was 8 weeks old. part of a litter of 10 that was unwanted. Just like any other welfare recipient: didn't know who/what breed his dad is.

he just turned a year old. he's kind of an asshole sometimes, but he's a good boy.

most of them are good. they just need a chance. they're in a place that sucks, they're stressed, and they're just looking for someone to actually care about them.

Will they? I feel like if they have a dog that's a real piece of shit they want to get rid of it and not tell you about it.

The dog I'm looking at is 3 years and 8 months old supposedly. Don't know if that's B.S. or not and they want to make it look reputable.

A part of me wants a puppy, but I don't want to go through the shit of training a puppy and dealing with it fucking the house up all the time so that's why I'm leaning towards and older dog.

i was totally gonna go with an older dog too, but oh well. this is my third puppy, first from the shelter.
he's been the hardest to train, but he's also been the most loving and friendly. i think maybe he's just stupid.

What kind of dogs do you have?

This one they say is a "Terrier-mix" which I think is a covert way of saying "pit mix". It has the big pit head but it has kind of regular fat dog body.

I don't if the county I live in has any specific laws, but there's laws that exist in this area over specific breeds being allowed. Basically, no pit bull breeds. Have you had to deal with that where you're from?

mom was an aussie shepherd. "hound-mix."

i'd be very wary of the "terrier-mix" if there's pit-bull legislation - my apartment complex had a no pit bulls rule when i got the pup. it's totally code for pit-mix.
