yup. my most recent adoption was a schnauzer that was put up because the owner passed. sad story, and the dog was sick. she was a great pet! i miss that dog the most, although she actually stayed with us for only 3 years till dog cancer took her. best dog ever! i will only take dogs like this now. no mystery dogs from a crate at an adoption center. they all look good until you take them home. i am gun shy now. but i bet i pass up on some great pets.
