Then, they had the individual rooms for interaction between potential matches. We looked at all the dogs and then went to the front desk with the number of the dog we were interested in. Then, we visited in one of the viewing rooms. They even let us take Charlie and Radar into the same room at the same time. I know a lady that regularly visits animal shelters. She now has SEVEN dogs!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673045379773443751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578703714388793273.post-27474086090253966402010-07-23T13:55:53.920-05:002010-07-23T13:55:53.920-05:00I'm a HUGE advocate of animal shelters, but I ...I'm a HUGE advocate of animal shelters, but I agree it is SO hard to go in there and not want to take them all home. In our case we're limited to two dogs in our townhome, so the next one will be our last til we move into a house w/ a yard ;-) One thing I have noticed with many shelters, is that they are starting to bring individual dogs out to a separate room instead of having you walk through a kennel full of dogs. I think this is a good thing b/c you won't fall victim to a sad face if you aren't looking for one, but also a bad thing b/c if the dog you want to see isn't the dog for you, you might miss one who is.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942521461353088455noreply@blogger.com
