I have been looking at the animals up for adoption by the Neuse River Animal Rescue (they also list on petfinder.com, Karen) -- so far I haven't seen any dogs that I feel I is grabbing me. I'll know the right one when I see them.
My problem is that I really, really want to see the dam and sire for whichever dog I settle upon -- and too many of the rescues don't even know who the sire is or even the dam, let alone be able to let me visit with them. I've adopted in the past, and they do make great pets too, but I also know it's a crap-shoot for whether they might have some congenital problem. And while I'm not ruling out a rescue, I am not going to pretend that I don't want a purebred. Purebreds need good homes too.
