If You Have About $200.00 and a Good Home...


...and you live in the MD/DC/VA area, and you'd like to have a pet, consider adopting a puppy:

The Fairfax County Animal Shelter brought up about 60 of the dogs on Thursday. Some of the dogs were sent to shelters in Alexandria. The Animal Rescue League in D.C. brought back about 105 dogs. The Montgomery County Humane Society has some as well. The shelters will provide safe, temporary homes for some of the dogs.

Why are there so many dogs? Well:

The massive breeding operation came to light after an investigation by the Humane Society of the United States. On Tuesday, Junior Horton, of Hillsville, voluntarily surrendered about 980 dogs, mostly small breed puppies like Yorkshire terriers and miniature poodles.

The last I heard on TV, the dogs go for about $150.00 each. Which is actually a loss for the shelters because it costs about $2,000.00 to care for each canine.
