One Less Animal on Death Row

This was certainly not part of the agenda during Waldo's brief home visit, although I had brought up the possibility of adopting another animal.  We certainly don't need more action at home and I don't need more work.  There goes my logical point of view.

Saxon is officially now part of our clan, and in my mind, he is one less animal that could of possibly faced euthanasia.  He is a JRT (Jack Russell Terrier) mix we found at the Hillsborough County Animal Services where we adopted Yobi in 2008.  There are scant details about his background other than he is a 1.5-2 year old thin, shy stray who is "full of energy and ready to go home" as stated by one of the staff members.  I can now personally attest to this abundant energy level.  Wow, comes to mind!  Note to self, diapers must be kept out of reach of dog.

In the few days chez us, Saxon has fully integrated himself into the family to the point where he and the cat sleep near each other.  G & Toddler S love their new friend and he is gentle and non-aggressive towards them.

The Humane Society reports that approximately 3-4 million pets are euthanized yearly.  If you are considering adding a pet to your family, that's one more reason to adopt from a shelter or rescue.  Purchasing from a pet store encourages puppy mills.  What is a puppy mill?
