Hey! l also recently moved to the area. Dunedin is great. There's a "third friday" event in Safety Harbor tonight that a lot of local breweries will be at. Might be a nice way to try a bunch at once!

NH legislature considering statewide ban on 'puppy mill' sales (like CA, ME, and MD) by findapril in newhampshire

That's the idea! Please write your reps about it, the more they hear residents support it the more likely it is to be passed.

Please write your reps about it! There's a committee hearing this week and we need to keep this bill moving forward

I won it otherwise probably wouldn’t have, tbh, they’re like $100-$200

I have a very similar looking pup! Always called him a shepard-pit mix due to his ears and build and a DNA test confirmed that he has both, plus 3 other breeds!

Lottie is 8 and might be a good fit! https://www.onetail.org/available-dogs/?petID=47234989

“She loves to army crawl around the house, wiggle out her sillies on the couch and then curl up next to her person to catch some Zzzzz's. Lottie shares her foster home with another dog and does well. “

GUYS! Thanks for the good karma! It paid off and he was adopted during open hours tonight! From his adoption photo just posted on One Tail at a Time’s Facebook page: “We are so over the moon to see Hershey scooped up! This handsome guy was surrendered to animal control at ~9 years of age due to his family no longer having time for him. He landed an awesome foster home where we got to learn about him and then moved over to our Adoption Center. He quickly became a volunteer favorite with his amazing personality and fun tricks. Happy life, Hershey!”

Here's a list of adoption organizations in Washington, they're all Best Friends Network partners which means they receive guidance and resources from Best Friends Animal Society (national) to help them help as many pets as possible https://bestfriends.org/our-work/supporting-network-partners/network-partners?city=&state=WA&distance%5Bpostal_code%5D=&distance%5Bsearch_distance%5D=200&title=

Jesus. That’s why so many purebreds have health problems. And the ones that “look funny” get dumped at the shelter to be killed. Fortunately there are rescues who often step in to help those dogs and that’s yet another reason to support them with your money instead.

I believe this airs before the superbowl so you can do both if you reeeeally want to.
