we have been without a dog (one year) for the first time in 34 years didn't want a puppy and not fussy about the breed so we went to our local humane society over the weekend and found a 9 year old heinz 57 dog, housebroke and leash trained. perfect for 2 old people (i-58 dh is 56)both feel like 90 though. cost $30 cause society place is overloaded with animals and we were told most of the humane societys are right now. please check there before you buy somewhere else you never know what you will find am sure glad we did. signed freckles new mom
