lucky guyIts so funny because we just adopted our first dog less than a week ago. He was rescued by CAWS from a high kill shelter in New Mexico with two days left before they euthanized him and then spent about two months with a foster mom. The shelter vet thought he might be about two years old based on his teeth but I think he might be quite a bit older. They also thought he was a mix of beagle, dachshund and chihuahua...but again, I think they're wrong because he looks more like a Jack Russel, Beagle mix with maybe some Dachsund...but definitely not Chihuahua. He's smart, doesn't bark, he doesn't destroy things and he's very loving little guy and just likes to hang out with us. But he's either not interested in playing with toys...or doesn't know how. We still have a lot to learn about him, but so far he's been the perfect dog for us. The shelter named him Sheldon and I kinda like the name so, I think we'll keep it.
We've always had cats and birds and were down to just one bird, and getting a dog was on my bucket list. My doctor said I need to walk at least an hour a day to avoid hip problems...and getting a dog will help a lot in achieving that goal. He's pretty good on a leash, too...so whoever owned him originally did a good job training him and I'm sure they probably miss him....I know I would
Anyway, good luck with your dog search and if I can help in anyway, let me know.
sheldon, too
