Susie Long, of Topeka, Kansas, is faced with having to shut down her shelter for homeless dogs. A group called Saving Death Row Dogs has stepped in to help her, and is attempting to help find homes for the dogs. You can read about it here. Their phone number is 785-746-5542, if you would like to contact them and adopt a dog.
This is Kenji. He had been dropped off at a local vet's office as a stray, and because no one claimed him or wanted to take him home, he was about to be euthanized. My daughter happened to be shopping for a dog, and we stopped at this vet's office to ask about puppies. There were no puppies, but we got to see Kenji. We took him home the next day. The vet did not know anything about him, except that he had never acted aggressive or mean during the entire two months they kept him. He was not a puppy, a factor that was not in Kenji's favor for adoption, but he is still active, playful, and friendly. At this point, I would actually rather get an older dog instead of a puppy, if I were to get another dog, simply because Kenji was already housebroken and was no longer aimlessly chewing on furniture or pulling down curtains, activities favored by puppies I have had in the past. So...once again, I think an older dog is sometimes better than a puppy. I hope all of Susie Long's dogs can find homes.
