Well, I almost got the beagle puppy that I want so bad...here is the story...for those who dont know me, Ill tell in more detail.
We just moved from Chicago to S. California. A thing we did a lot in Chitown was to go to the rescue society and look at the dogs....that is where we found Snoopy, fell in love, and adopted him....and we still went back after we had Snoopy b/c Ron just loves to do this for some reason?? (I tear up every time I go there)
Anyway, we came to Cali, and up the road from Snoopy's doggy daycare is a dog shop, we went in, thinking it was food, treats, ect.....OMG NO, there were puppies everywhere...in these crates, puppies ONLY!!
My first thought was OMG these poor pups they have to be from puppy mills...then we saw a beagle puppy...since we got Snoopy as a rescue, I have NEVER seen a beagle puppy, I about died....we HAD to walk him, he was 3 months old, so cute. We took him to an area where you can play with the pups, and we did..I just couldnt let go of him, although he just wanted to play..hehe...
Now, Ron and I have really wanted to get a beagle puppy for a while, just moving, starting a new job, a new area where we have never lived, ect...we didnt have time. But we know we want another beagle for Snoopy, and he has such fear of everything, every person, we cant take him in public, no one can pet him, he has ran away so much because of fear, so we think we want a pup that doesnt have as many issues.
First thing I asked...where did they come from...a puppy mill??....I was just so shocked to see this many puppies and I dont agree with the puppy mills at all....the lady looked in shock and says NO WAY..we are a Christian funded organization and they come from breeders..??
Anyway we played with him, left b/c we were getting ready to go on vacation to NC and NJ to see family, so of course we couldnt get him.
That was a month ago.....
Today we picked Snoops up from daycare, but Ron wanted to stop by the shop were the puppies were so he could play with them........but I said, "what if that beagle pup is STILL there, I just dont think I can handle it"....he said that if he was still there, we would adopt him!!!!
I freaked out, and he was serious too...but the beagle was gone, transfered to another place b/c if they do not sell at one place they go to another in the same company.
Now, Im torn. I have such a guilt of not getting a rescue, but here this poor pup is in a crate for months and is suppose to be a breeded beagle...cost of $1,000!...seriously? He is like a rescue to me....and WHY would you have a full breed in a shop..he had papers and all!!!
How can I support this when I feel there are so many rescues out there that need help...but I just fell in love with this beagle pup we almost had him for our own, now he is gone. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif
Im not sure what I want....AND if anyone knows of ANY beagle rescue places in S. California, please let me know, we have not found any /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shocked.gif
sorry for the long post.
