I know Paula.....that was not very nice. What is wrong with adopting a puppy from a shelter? There are a lot of good dogs in shelters that need homes. One just has to be careful when getting a dog from a shelter because a lot of times they are sick. That is why I will not take in any rescue dogs. I do not have any money to take care of my own.
