Today I was going to the grocery store and noticed a Pet Food Express store had opened. There were hundreds of people out front. Of course I went over to investigate in case there were any GSD there. I found the most wonderful non profit organization "Pound Puppy Rescue" with puppies they had rescued in exercise pens with children and adults sitting with the puppies in the pens. I saw a friend who is interested in adopting a Lab mix and she enlightened me on this organization. You have to have a personal interview with the people. You may pick which puppy you would like and then give them two or three choices. You then have to go home and fill out a 5 page application on line. After that if they believe you are suitable they come to your home to make sure it is suitable for a puppy. OMG I was really impressed But the main thing that impressed me was I asked why the Children were in the exercise pens with the pupies. At one time a grown up picked up a puppy and dropped it some time ago. Now you are not allowed to pick up the puppies but the people in the pens with the puppies will hold them up from a sitting position so you can touch and love them. OK this gave me chills and I was so impressed that I will write them a letter commending them on their care. If only everyone followed this.
