Hi. i have been thinking about adopting a rescue dog from an animal shelter
That is so amazing, I was just looking at dog shelters today. They take in any abandoned or surrendered dogs and cats, I would feel much better getting a pet that truly needs a home.
Me too. Do you own any shelter animals now? i was thinking about possibly an older dog instead of a puppy . Is that a good idea?
Dog
The domestic dog ("Canis lupus familiaris" when considered a subspecies of the wolf or "Canis familiaris" when considered a distinct species) is a member of the genus "Canis" (canines), which forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct. The dog
timber wolf as the state animal. In 2013, Colorado listed rescue dogs and cats as the state pet. California also recently named the "shelter pet" as its state animal, because of all the abandoned shelter pets each year. California legislature hopes this will cause more adoptions of pets from shelters.
