Did you know?  I have sold many pups to people who work as paid employees or volunteers to public animal shelters, including many puppies to  "directors of animal control" (the supervisor and lead person who runs a public animal shelter). They say that healthy small breeds suitable for house pets are almost never available for adoption at most shelters, and that there is a serious need for our puppies. One woman bought a puppy from me after working in a public shelter in one of this area's largest cities for four years without being able to find a small breed that she wanted to adopt.  Most of the adoptable shelter pets are larger mixes that many feel are too large for indoor pets, but some smaller pets are sometimes available. Unfortunately, many of the large breed mixes would not be adopted even if professionally raised small breed puppies were not available, because many families don't want this type of indoor pet, and few seem to want outdoor pets . Large breeds are becoming less popular as neighbors and insurance providers are becoming less tolerant of them. If you want a large pet, you can easily find one  at the public shelters.  However, I would advise not getting one that's too young.  Since many of the shelter puppies have not had proper veterinary care from the beginning, it is not uncommon to have problems.  Another disadvantage is that one or both parents are often unknown, making it hard to be sure how big some of these will get or exactly what they might grow to look like.  This year and in many  years past, up to 50% of shelter puppies and 30% of puppies sold in the U. S. have died from parvo virus alone,  producing huge vet bills, after not receiving vaccines and veterinary care in the way that we do it here. This should encourage all to be a good pet owner!

This humane society is a volunteer organization that is doing a good job with animal placement assistance of the adoptable animals from the Wilkes County Animal Shelter.  If you would like to adopt a pet, available animals can be seen at www.humanesocietyofwilkes.org.
