Bless you for adopting her. I too adopt alll my animal companions from shelters. I have four dogs now. Whenever we lose one to old age we adopt another pretty quick. We are not replacong our beloved pet, but giving another wonderful dog a forever home. I wish I could adopt more, but four is the maximum I can give proper care to ( the best food, vet care, etc.) Like my DH says "You can't save them all" I just wish I could.
