Puppy ponderings

Does anyone have experience with adopting from Yolo County SPCA?

As most of y'all know, T-Man has been aching for a dog for years -- and we're finally getting one. He fell in love with a sweet little pup named Pluto at the YSPCA PetSmart appearance on April 4, and I turned in an application for her that day. I sent a follow-up e-mail on the 10th

Actually, lady_cinnicat and I visted a foster home which is where Sammy attached himself. We got him a couple weeks later since the particular foster home was for cats with some medical need (one of the UC Davis vets-to-be doing some intense home training, I guess). :)

We also got
from the SPCA.

I would probably make plans to visit the SPCA when they are at the Marketplace Petco. There you can get more information from people who really want to help place the animals. :)

Marketplace Pet...store?

Blah, I think I've been calling it PetSmart, but that was in fact where we met Pluto -- I didn't want to pick a dog blindly off the Internet. :-) The head lady there (Julie?) explained that she just coordinates the appearance and has no influence with the applications other than turning them in. Pluto only had a couple of kids T's age with her, and they weren't exactly verbose.

I think the best thing to do is go back this weekend, but I'm already dreading the questions from the kids about why they're still showing Pluto....

Doodlebug desperately wants a cat, and I think when we do that (not for a while) we'll go through the Kitten Rescue Project at UCD. I've been really impressed with their showings at the Farmer's Market.
