I fell in love with Lucas last week when I saw him on Facebook. My heart just melted and his photos gave me that “I need to adopt him feeling.” Lucas is a very special boy. He’s a three year old Chihuahua who’s loving, playful and great with other dogs, cats and children! Sounds like quite a catch eh? He sure is. And there’s something that makes Lucas especially unique – he is blind. But don’t let his inability to see steer you away from giving this boy a much deserving home. He’s just like any other amazing dog!
I want to adopt a dog…but where do I start?
The one question I get on a consistent basis is, “We want to add a new pet to our family. We want to adopt but we don’t know where to start! What should we do?” I have some recommendations for you.
My Fourth Dog Adoption Was A Fail
For months I’ve been wanting to add a fourth dog to our family. Twice I’ve found an American Staffordshire Terrier mix that I wanted to adopt but the same question came up both times: “Do you know if she’s good with cats?” This is what I would ask the shelter volunteers because after all, I have two kitties. And not only that, but my tabby cat Joey is disabled. Although I was heartbroken because I wanted these dogs, I wasn’t willing to risk Joey’s safety. So what happened when I found a fourth small dog to adopt? I risked Joey’s safety.
