TomCat Part two
The place in Springdale that we used for this birddog that adopted us in 1983 was called Adopt-A-Pet. He was a sweet dog that wandered up and played with Bowsey and thought he would stay. We ran “Dog Found” ads for about a month. We probably would have done it longer except he found pooh-poohed-pampers in the trash can from the neighbors house and would shred them in the yard, daily!! We found Adopt-A-Pet and took him there. We would bring him Old Post Office leftovers every week and feed him through the fence at the shelter. Finally, someone adopted him. It turned out to be someone who lived behind the courthouse / old-movie-theater . Didn’t take long for that dog to high-tail it across 71 and get back over to our house (even after being at Adopt-a-pet a couple months). We then put an ad in the paper for a “free bird dog.” We found it a really nice home out by Hogeye at an older couple’s farm. They had a dog run and everything. We went out there too with left overs for a while. Anyway, I just could never take an animal to the pound turn around and go home. I’m talking about me here, I would have to try to make an effort even if it was a small effort.
And yes there are no-kill shelters here.
