Went to the shelter today and figured I'd post some pictures here! :) They were all just so sweet, I wanted to take them all home! :(

This is Gwynn, very sweet girl!

Cuddly girl Lyric. She was just too much!

Up-Down, loved those ears!

Shugah, the wild child! He is adoption pending as of today!

My personal favorite, Kahn! She is just so sweet, but is also sooo pregnant. :( She just loves people so much! You can tell just by looking into those eyes!

Me and her :)

I'm wondering if she's going to have had her puppies by the next time I go to the shelter. She looks like she could be due very soon.

This is my sister's favorite from today, Tampa. :) He was just so cute, and loved to lay in her lap!

Oh, excuse his un-neutered man bits. :eek: He will be neutered before going to his new home.

This was another favorite of mine, Rocky Road (I just call him Rocky). He is sooo soft, and so sweet! Tell me those eyes don't melt your heart!

This is Frederick, he was listed as a shepherd mix, but I just don't think he is. He looks more beagle/dachshund or something to me. He was also very over weight. :(

And finally, here is Mr. Magic. :) He's a basset hound, and he was hilarious! He always looked so sad, but he was so friendly, hehe. Got to say, first Basset I've ever seen at the shelter! (just goes to show you that you CAN find pure breeds in shelters! It's really sad :( )

Hope you enjoyed them. :) They're just the best, and they really make my day! :D

All those poor pitties! So many of them in the shelters and so few people adopt them because of the completely undeserved reputation they have acquired. And yes, you are 100% correct, lots and lots and lots of purebreds at the shelters.

Yeah, they're all great dogs! :) And we get quite a few pure breeds at the shelter, but we usually send them to rescue to give all of the pit bulls a chance (they are most of what we have). The shelter figures if most of what the people visiting the shelter have to choose from are pit bulls, they'll have to pick a pit bull and they'll get adopted. :) So unless it's a pit or a heavily mixed dog, it usually gets sent off to rescue.

Gosh, the poor dogs. I feel the most for the pit bulls, because like Birdamor mentioned; nobody wants a dog with such a reputation. :(

Thank you for doing everything that you do to help these animals. They can't speak for themselves, so it's nice to see someone speak for them.

Love the basset! We used to have one and my in-laws had one when we got married. They aren't going to win any prizes for brains, but I don't know that there's a sweeter or more patient and loving breed.

Awww, Rocky Road just stole my heart. Too bad I'm not on my own or live nearby because I would def adopt him (seriously!) :(

We adopt out of state! :D And right now BARCS (the shelter these dogs are from) is running a special because it's the shelter's 5th birthday, so all adoption fees are waived! :p

Hey, no problem! ;) Luckily not everyone hates pit bulls, there are a great number of people that love them. Unfortunately, just as many seem to be on the other side of the fence.

Yeah, that Basset was just too much! He's honestly only the second Basset I have ever interacted with. He was just so funny. You could tell he loved the attention, but he was very "cool" about it, lol. He just kinda chilled while we all fussed over him! :D Every once in a while he'd start thumping his tail, hehe.

Oh, and get this. We're thinking about adopting Kahn as a service dog. :11: I know, we're crazy, lol. Where we live our landlord doesn't allow pit bulls, but if they are a service dog, then we would legally be allowed to have one. My mom and I are disabled (I have bad arthritis and my mom is in a wheel chair) so we could use the help! It probably won't happen (our current dog may not like Kahn, our landlord may not budge even though it's against the law...), but we're looking into it. :) I'll keep you all updated!

Awww man, that is so awesome. Still my parents wouldn't be to happy about having a dog around. They love animals by watching them, they don't like having them around though :( Think BARCS can hold on to him for another, say 10 more years? Then I'll adopt him after I finish high school, college, get a job, and get my own house! LOL I hope he goes to a good home........same for all of them :)

Just thought I'd update! Lyric, Shugah, Mr. Magic, and Rocky have been adopted! Up-Down got an application in on him today, and Khan went into a foster home and had her puppies yesterday! :)

I'm not sure what has happened to Gwynn, Tampa, and Sable, but they're not there anymore. I'm HOPING they got adopted! :(

Frederick is the only one still looking for a home! If I get sent pictures of Khan's puppies, I'll share those too! :)
