Congratulations on your new furbaby. We don't go to "puppy mills" either. We adopt rescue dogs.
After losing our darling Corgi six years ago, we adopted a Lancashire Heeler. When we went to bring her home,
we noticed a darling Saint Bernard who had just been delivered to the Rescue Farm. We have had Saints before so we knew what a joy they are. Well, we came home with two dogs! They are the delight of our lives.
