Babies having babies.  That's our Annie.  She's only about six months old and has already had a litter of puppies.  I mean, gosh, she still has her baby teeth!  People tell me all the time, "Oh, I'm going to wait until my pet is a year old before I have it fixed."  Well, welcome to our world!  Dogs and cats can get pregnant when they are just 5 months old and cats (maybe dogs too) can get pregnant again while still nursing a their last litter of kittens!  Do you wonder why we have a problem with over population and unwanted pets?  Everyone thinks, I'll have no problem finding homes for puppies or kittens.  Yeah?  Check out our website or any county shelter.  Their full of puppies and kittens that no one wants.  Sheeesh.....

OK, back to Annie.  She and one of her puppies kept coming around to a woman's house, laying by the front door and even jumped in her car.  The woman gave the puppy to someone who pulled up in a passing car and inquired about it (Aaaaagh!  please, let that person fix the puppy!).  She brought us Annie in the hopes that we will find her a home.  She is such a sweet dog, I'm sure that will be no problem.  Annie walks well on a leash, is crate trained, and is very affectionate, loves attention, hugs and kisses and will return them in kind!


*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
