I was really trying to rack my brain for this question but, you helped me.

Mine is a pet too. A dog. I have a Dalmatian and there was one up for adoption at a local shelter.

I went to meet him, and the shelter sort of pushed him into me right then. It was more expensive than it should have been also.

In the end, I’m glad I brought him home. My first dog loves to wrestle with him and the shelter ended up getting shut down for violations with the state. I’m so happy he got a good home with me and didn’t get sent to who knows where when the shelter closed.
