She had no social skills, either with people or other dogs. She was not housebroken, because I don’t believe she had ever been inside. My dog, at a year old, had no idea what to do with furniture or toys. She can untangle herself better than any dog I’ve ever known, which means she was probably tied up a lot, if not always. I am almost positive that she was owned by someone before me, because of her uncanny leash untangling skills. The shelter just labeled her as a year old the day they picked her up. But, it is also a hopeful place when you can lessen their load by even one animal.

It’s a horrible place full of sad, frightened animals. It’s where people who can’t or don’t want to take care of an animal dump them. If you’re not familiar with East Valley, it’s a rather depressing place. Not long after my previous dog died, I went to Los Angeles East Valley Animal Services. I decided I was going to go straight to the source, the animal shelter, where animals are killed daily. When she died of cancer, I decided I wasn’t going to adopt from rescues anymore, because rescued dogs have homes until they’re adopted. She cost a lot of money to adopt from the rescue, at least $300 if I recall, but I never regretted it. There are so many awesome dogs on this planet in need of homes. I see you out there, walking your pup all hours of the day. Hello, dog owners! I can tell already that you’re a partly decent person, because you’ve decided to care for an animal that is not yourself.
