Hello, I'm new to this forum and a new dog dad. After a few years of thinking and planning to get a dog, I finally found a little mutt at a local shelter that I fell for immediately.

Almost 2 weeks ago, my mother adopted Grace, a 5 yr. old beagle/border collie mix from the shelter. We don't truly know anything for sure about her past, but she was left at the shelter when she was younger once before too. We walk her 2-3 times a day for 20+ mins at a time. I think she could...

Hello All! I recently adopted a 3 year old Lab mix from the SPCA. She has been an absolute dream. She is already house trained, knows "sit" "laydown" "down" "paw" and "crawl" (so cute, let me tell you!). Obviously she was someone's pet and they loved and trained her. She was a stray when she...

I just read someone's post about being scared before adopting because of the wait...I have just committed to adopting a little dog, probably chi mix, about a year old, and I am an absolute bundle of nerves. I've never adopted from a shelter before, and haven't housebroken an adult...and know...
