Save $$: Up to $500 or more depending on animal and breed. Good for You: Adopting an orphaned animal keeps it from having to be euthanized.

Sasha, adopted at approximately nine months old, has taken roughly thirteen years to trust humans enough to be stroked while she’s standing on the floor. In literature as well as life, the ideal is the safely rescued animal finds the perfect home and becomes the perfect pet. Or, she would like to have something else in her bowl.

On May 5, 2010, I adopted a two-year-old poodle/terrier mix from our local shelter, Animal Allies. Within weeks, with lots of love, patience, and socializing with other tenants and pets, she was a totally different dog. I’ve always felt that shelter animals are special animals, and I’m blessed to have found my Angel.

When I agreed to read and review Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's THE DOG WHO COULDN'T STOP LOVING (Harper 2010), the regal Charles Hobson Booger, III was still with us. He was adopted by the Masson family and was apparently the most loving dog all who met him had ever had the pleasure of being licked by. And the crying would never stop.

I’d always wanted a dog, and we had talked about adopting one for a while. After taking the time to read up on proper pet care and soliciting advice and tips from my dog-loving friends, I slowly began to feel comfortable taking care of Trevor as the long weekend progressed. It soon dawned on me though – I didn’t know a thing!
