[AnnaLee]

3. Mr. Bright Eyes and Smiley tongue

seems satisfied with the result.

[TomSlick]

4. You chose wisely.

What a cutie.

[Rhiannon12866]

5. I grew up with a puppy, but after that I've adopted seniors - and have never been disappointed

Puppies are hard! And this little one is just adorable!

[Raven123]

6. Good for you.

[mgardener]

7. Life lesson...

Never, ever bring 2 children to a shelter to pick out a kitten.

You will always come home with 2!!!

What a cutie!
I would have chosen him/her too.

10. That's ok, because kittens should be adopted in pairs

Unless there is already a young cat in the home.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. LOL! Several decades ago I brought my two young sons

to a shelter because we wanted a cat. When I got there I thought, "Uh, oh, what if we all like a different cat?"

Incredibly enough, we all liked the exact same cat.

And yeah, older animals are better, in my opinion.

24. The older shelter dog

I have had three older shelter dogs. I call them the Just Add Water Dog. They were all Labradors and all you needed was a body of water on that first day in their new home and voila, a family pet.

Never a poop or pee accident, no chewing of my shoes or other puppy like destruction. You are so right, puppies are hard! God bless the Just Add Water Dog.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

31. Plus, what I've read about purebred dogs is just horrifying.

A mutt of some kind is best.

I do love "Just Add Water Dog". That's perfect.

11. Oh my gosh

I’m in love it’s so cute.
I keep thinking of getting a new dog.
Mostly I am saying not a puppy as I’m not home enough to do training.
But so far the “perfect” one hasn’t showed up.
In fact last August I kept looking at the shelter dogs and well one night I looked at the cats and
When I saw this kittens face I just knew he had to be for us.
my adult daughters call him “little brother.”

So eventually the “perfect dog for us” will show up.

17. The perfect dog will find you

Humans don't adopt dogs, dogs pick their owners. When the dog knows you are perfect, you will have your dog.

[thinkingagain]

20. I believe so

My last dog I got. I found it hubby ok’d it went to get it
Few miles down the road he climbed into hubbys lab and hasn’t left.
“My new dog”. Became hubbys dog.

13. What a little doll!

[StarryNite]

14. What a little doll!

[Scottie Mom]

15. Wow! That dog is a winner.

And so are you for picking him out and taking him home!

[ShazzieB]

16. Oh, how precious! 🥰😍

If I am ever in a position to adopt a dog, that's exactly the sort of dog I would want - tiny, cute, and adorable!

[UTUSN]

18. My babe is named Lucky

Older dogs and cats are the very best.

I wanted to rescue an older Shepherd or GSX due to my age but a GSX puppy chose me at the shelter. Against my will! Ana is now 2.5 years old.

[tblue37]

[housecat]
