Im going to go to the animal shelter this weekend and I think theres a Lab Rescue not to far from where i live i wouldnt mind acquiring some companionship
GOOD BOY
visiting an animal shelter with an open mind should really be the first place to go when looking for a pet. i honestly hate when people come in looking for a particular breed and refuse to meet any other, obviously compatibility is necessary but its not defining!
please consider adopting from your local pound or shelter! i know buying an adorable puppy from a breeder seems like the best choice but they grow up too. most pound dogs were given as thoughtless gifts and once they outgrew the 'cute' stage or the owners came to realise how much of a responsibility they are they were just abandoned. please stay away from pet stores too as the majority of them get their dogs from
puppy mills (

& please always spay and neuter your pets (graphic image)
