Here’s a participation game: go to www.petfinder.com and look for available dogs within 100 miles of where you live.
How many dogs? How many of a type?
Now post a picture of a cutie you find in the comments, with a link to his or her profile.
For the record, there are 8,700 available dogs within 100 miles of me.
And that’s just today — another 8,000 dogs will be available within a week or two.
Which brings me to another point; it’s beyond bizarre to me that folks will spend three months researching a car, and will drive 100 miles for a car deal, but will limit their dog search to 15 miles and whatever is available this weekend.
That’s not someone looking for a pet dog; that’s someone looking for an excuse to go to a breeder for a puppy. That’s not a crime, but hey let’s be honest about it.
Ok, now go to www.petfinder.com and post a cutie.
Show the world what’s possible. ❤️💕😇

I find it sad that no one has played your 'participation game' and posted a pic of a cutie. I also find it sad that there are nearly 4 thousand dogs available for adoption w/i 100 miles of me - and I live in a rural area. but even worse is the recent listing on my NextDoor for german shepard puppies! Like we Need more dogs - NOT. I adopted a 9 y/o dutch shepard from the shelter 40 miles from me cuz I wanted an older dog. She is absolutely Amazing: Smart (maybe too smart), great with my other dog And my 2 cats, rarely barks except for the dogs passing by and Never (well, almost never) needs a leash on our walks - even with deer in close proximity. Thanks for the game - although a bit depressing
ok - can't seem to post a pic - so here's the link: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/lenny-73422871/co/colorado-springs/saint-mutts-rescue-tx2601/
