so i have been looking to adopt a dog for the longest time. but this pandemic has made the situation worse for me as more and more people are also looking for a dog to adopt. i have used https://www.adoptapet.com/ as my main source for looking. they have a really good national base. even a local shelter near me suggested i use it to search for a future pet there.
but the problem is that every single one i have applied for adoption, i'm always too late and the dog i wanted was spoken for.
i tried looking on craig's list and i keep finding folks who are like 200-300 miles away!!!!! i want to see the dog first and see if my current dog can coexist withe each other.
is there a better way to find a find a dog to adopt? i am kind of picky. i am looking for either a puppy or a young dog (1-3 years old). it also has to be a lap dog.....but one that is not yappy. maybe like a small poodle mix or a lhasa apso type dog.
with my dog i got lucky. a coworker at the time had her dog in a co-op breeding program with her cousin. he was looking to breed pitbull/bulldog which was what her dog was. i was lucky enough to buy one of her pups. i am no longer in contact with her. plus those dogs are big. i'm looking for a small dog around 10-20 pounds at the most.
any ideas?
