I adopted both of my dogs from Friends for Animals, a no-kill shelter in Morganton NC. Shelter dogs know what it is like to be homeless, and most of them have seen sadness in life. Love, and time will correct any emotional or behavioral problems these dogs may have, if they have any. These dogs deserve a happy home, not that all dogs don’t deserve a great home, I can tell my girls appreciate the love, and acceptance of their new family. I can tell you from experience patience, and love you give to your shelter dog will be returned ten fold. Again patience is important it will take time to develop a routine, but shelter dogs are very smart and they are great pets. Please adopt A shelter dog !!!
