[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I just revisited the thread and LOL.  When did animals become so PC.  The KILL aka Clear shelters seemed like a good idea because they might let us visit, choose a dog and leave with animal.

I want this experience to be fun.  We should be able to show up somewhere, choose a dog that fits well with the kids, then take the dog home.  Disappointing the kids because we need to fix a latch on our fence or will not be home every two hours to socialize the dog is ridiculous.

It's sad we have all these unwanted animals, and a great suburban family like ours will probably go with a breeder.

As for the home visits.  Besides 30 minutes being unrealistic because I will have to completely rearrange my already over-booked schedule, I do not want you in my house, period. [/quote]
Any reputable breeder will have you do much of the same. I’m sorry, but you’re looking for excuses. If you can’t clear your schedule for thirty minutes, the fact you want to get a dog is terrifying. You seem to be more about this being a fun experience. It’s not shopping. I hope you think it through. [/quote]

Terrifying?  You must live a very charmed life if this terrifies you.[/quote]
