I say look on pet finder too. That is where i found my Calvin! I have noticed and mentionewd it to my husband that the shelters are too picky sometimes. They complain about being crowded but then they have unrealistic expectations! I got Calvin through a local sheltoer and it was WAYYYYY easier than i thought it would be. I emailed then about him asked a few questions....OK a TON of questions lol...asked then to reserve him for me, which they did immediately. I did have to email them an application first but other than that i just went to petsmart on the day i was told to, met my puppy did a mini interview and filled out paperwork, paid and brought him home! Easy as pie. I will definantly go through petfinder again to find a shelter.
