My husband and I are looking for a small dog (10 pounds or less)to take into our home and shower our love on. Does anyone know of a good local breeder, pet shop, or other caring source? We are not picky about sex or breed--just size. And we are open to an older dog (a young adult as opposed to a puppy) with the right temperment.

It looked pretty cool and lets you search for homeless dogs within a certain mile-radius from where you live.

Hi Anne -

Also try Petfinder.com

My husband and I just adopted a dog this past weekend. He is a Westie and lost his home in Hurricane Katrina. (They are small dogs, but are over 10 pounds) We went through the Westie Rescue of Missouri. http://www.westierescueofmissouri.com/

I have a question sort of on this topic: does anyone know if GE has a limit on how many dogs a household can have? We already have 2, but would like to rescue another dog who is a victim of Katrina. Thank you.

6-3-7: NUMBER OF PERMITTED DOGS AND CATS:

It shall be unlawful for more than three (3) dogs or cats, or any combination thereof, to be housed within the village unless the premises or property on which said dogs or cats are housed is a kennel or cattery as defined within the zoning code. (Ord. 5352, 4-25-2005)

Wow, thank you for doing the research! This is excellent -- looks like we can get one more.

No Problem!

Let us know when you get your refugee, err, I mean EVACUEE puppy!
