So the ol lady wants a dog....

Pics?


Of Ole lady, not the dog.

Golden ret woule be perfect for her. Great fam pets.

Well, since this Covid crap it seems shelters have had a run on adoption and many of them have no dogs up for adoption now------which is a good thing for the dogs.

Add to that, most responsible pet owners have their animals spayed or neutered and there are fewer and fewer unwanted litters of puppies that you can grab one from.

A mix breed dog will not cost all that much as compared to a full blood of almost any breed dog and that may be your best option.

Personally, I would opt for a pup so it will grow up around your family and know early on what is expected of them. No telling how others have treated the dog or what they tried to do as far as even remedial training.

There’s a No Kill org in LC we got one from but they preform an anal exam prior to adoption. Wife said it’s Animal Rescue and may or may not still be in business.
Don’t buy the remedial training nonsense unless it’s a pb. Dogs can tell when people want the around and raising them inside helps tremendously with their development.
Would suggest a greyhound if she’s a runner or catahoula.

I suggested a retired greyhound since I'm not really a fan of her cat. That didn't go over well.

Whippet or Italian greyhound would be smaller and live longer also. Greyhound adoption is similar to a human adoption I’ve been told.

I know a vet who comes across pups all the time that he fixes for shelters, may possibly be able to get one where are you located?

Don’t do it. The dog will stink up your house and drag his dock all over your belonging.

My buddy has papers on his. He is giving away the mom also. He sold his place in Mississippi and is living in his motorhome, so no room for poochies. I can send you pics if you want, post your email.
