Have you ever adopted a pet from the pound?

Aww, he's cute. I love pugs and pug crosses.

He is adorable! What a cute mix :)

I definitely think it's a great idea to adopt animals from shelters whenever you can. There are some no kill shelters, but unfortunately not all of them are. A lot of the older animals or ones who have been there longer have to be put down and I hate to see that. Our local shelter has started spaying and neutering all of the animals before they are adopted out to help prevent adding to the pet population and I think that's a great idea. Your cats are gorgeous by the way. Your torti reminds me of Tasia - she never just meows. She has a chirpy meow that almost sounds like she's singing sometimes. She can carry on a conversation with you forever too. I think it's adorable but it annoys my husband sometimes because she is always carrying on about something! Here is a photo of my other cat Simon. He's a 10 year old Tonkinese. He's definitely the most loyal pet I've ever had. He's like my little guardian angel.

He's a beautiful dog! I'm glad you gave him a chance even though he was in a pretty bad state when you saw him. I love hearing stories like this where animals get a second chance at being happy and finding a loving home.

Thank you :) She is such a sweet cat. I've had her for 4 years now and she is the most affectionate cat I have ever seen.

Sometimes the ones that find you make the best pets!

What kind of dog do you have? Was it a puppy or an adult when you adopted it?

They are adorable! Thanks for sharing a photo of them.

That's really sweet that you help out dogs who have been injured. I never knew that there were so many stray dogs in India. I hope most of them are friendly! Have you ever had an enounter with a vicious stray dog?

She's very pretty. That's great that you took her in along with adopting your lab. Thanks for replying!

Here is the Zoe.

Should get a nicer picture if I upload again.

Your cats are gorgeous! I would love to have a few more cats around, but we have our hands full with the two we have right now. I don't think I could handle adding a nother one since these two demand so much attention!

I highly recommend adopting from an animal shelter. There are some very sweet animals there who deserve a second chance!

Wow, that's great that you have both adopted so many of your pets! I've seen guinea pigs at our local shelter a few times, but never a rabbit or ferrets.

That's wonderful! Do you know what kind of dog he is? Thanks for sharing your story.

That's wonderful :) What type of dog is he and how long have you had him? Thanks for sharing!

I'm sorry that you lost your dog. It sounds like your family had a lot of great years with him though.

That's wonderful! How many pets do you have right now?

That's great that you help out the strays that you find. It's definitely better than letting them wander the streets. I do get sad sometimes when I visit the pound, but I try to go pretty often just to give the animals some extra love and attention. The hard part is walking out and not wanting to bring one of them home with me. My two cats would be very angry with me though if I brought a new one home!

That's very true. I feel like both of my cats picked me. Simon, my tonkinese, was my first indoor cat and he came from the pet store. He was brought in with his siblings by a couple whose cats had kittens. My parents were never really for the idea of having a cat or dog indoors, but when they saw how quickly Simon and I bonded they caved in pretty fast! He was so tiny that I could him in one hand and when I held him up to my face to look at him he licked my nose. It was love at first sight!

That's great! Thank you for sharing.
