I'm not trying to influence one way or the other because I think you are being responsible either way JLAW. Just a thought, a reputable rescue (I say reputable because many aren't & it is sometimes hard to tell! My own dog came from one of those type. Now out of business :)) & the Humane society...
Ah she's gorgeous! Love her eyes! Gotta love pitties, they are so sweet :) Is she deaf? (It is super common for white ones).
<chants> spring, spring, spring!! I can't wait lol!
Hello everyone, been a very long time since I've done more than read a few posts and man I had a LOT to go through. Needless to say I mostly skimmed.
