That's wonderful to hear. I adopted my dog from a local shelter about 2.5 years ago and he is absolutely wonderful. He was listed as a pitbull, but I believe he is Labrador / American Bulldog mix. It wouldn't matter, he's absolutely wonderful.
I now volunteer every Saturday afternoon at the shelter that I got my dog from. I great way to pay it forward......
This shelter only has 3 dogs available for adoption, but they have been waiting for a couple of years. They are great dogs (Pitbull, Pitbull Mixes) - 2 Females and 1 Male. They are all approximately 4 - 4.5 years old.
If anyone is in the Massachusetts area, (the shelter is located on Cape Cod) and is thinking about adopting a shelter dog, please let me know if you are interested. I can answer any questions and arrange for a meeting if you want to give one of these dogs a "forever home".
