@dm29@mastodon.social It's okay, when I was younger, we did adopt from shelters and those were some of the bestest doggos you could ever ask for! I also understand why shelters are more strict now because of the pandemic "trend" and I could never imagine getting a dog and then abandoning them. I despise people like that, and also recommend shelter adoptions when possible! (if i had my own house, I would adopt as many as I can, I feel so bad for them)
