How about a thread where we all list some of the dogs at our local shelters or on the adoption sites? Maybe someone will see our idea of a great family dog and adopt one of them before their time is up. Please, no rescues here - after all, they are already safe. Let's save this one for the dogs that are really running out of time this holiday season.
If you've been thinking of that second dog, now's the time to go and meet one of these poor dogs that have no loving home. For gosh sake, don't get a Christmas puppy without looking at these guys first...
Here's my first pick, because he looks just like one of the dogs that just graduated my therapy dog class, and I kinda like his face.
