So, I live with my boyfriend, Carlos, and we have a dog, Charli. We adopted her back in May of 2010. She is a wonderful dog. Carlos and I both work at a car dealership so, Charli is alone for a while everyday. Sometimes, I feel bad for leaving her alone so much. We have been discussing maybe adopting another dog, lately. So, she would have a playmate and companion.
Charli ^
A couple of days ago, one of our coworkers found a little dog and had told Carlos about her. Well, my boyfriend, being as wonderful as he is, tells our coworker that we would take the dog. Haha. So, on Friday, he went and met the little dog and she is so sweet. Doesn't bark (thanks goodness!). When I got off work on Saturday, we went and got the little dog and took her to Lied Animal Shelter. We figure we put in Lost & Found first because if we were to ever loose our dog we wouldn't want someone to just take her home and make her their own. Even though Charli has tags and is microchipped. So, hopefully, we would get her back quickly if we ever did loose her (hope it never happens though). Anyway!!! We figured if someone was looking for her, she would be somewhere they would be able to find her. The Animal Foundation posts a picture of the 'found' dog online and they hold her for seventy two hours. During that time, she will go through a behavioral and medical assessment. After her seventy two hours are up and she passes her assessments, she goes up for adoption. We dropped her off on Saturday, which means she will go up for adoption on Tuesday. In which case, if she is not claimed, when I get off work that day, I will be driving down there and adopting her. So, basically, we are getting another dog this week. Haha!
When we were driving the dog to the shelter, we were discussing how old we thought she was, and figured she must have been pretty young, for being so small. We got to Lied and were giving the doggy over to the girl who worked there (which turned out to be my old roommate, Jasmin!). She was looking at the dog and was telling us she was probably a year or so. When I went online to their website to see her post, it said that she was around eight years old! I couldn't believe it. Lol. So, basically we should be getting a new dog sometime this week. We will see!!!
Potential New Doggy^
