Last spring, we adopted a 17 lb, 4 y.o. dachshund terrier mix from a rescue org that has foster for all their dogs. (They had brought her up from some southern state.) We got to meet the foster mom, as well as the pup, knew she was housebroken, loved to sleep in bed, chase squirrels, how she responded to her alpha human, if handled properly. And more.

She’s loving, devoted, smart. She gets underfoot, needs to be taken out, some days she has to wait patiently for us to get home. What a doll.

You have to be ready and willing to commit. It’s not that hard.

And get pet insurance of some sort.
