I adopted a 2 year old yellow lab mix last week from the US. His name is Bubba.
No, they charge an arm and a leg in Canada to adopt.
I been looking to adopt one also lately. Most places I found charge between $200-$400 for the adoption and you have to bring the dog back to the vet within 3 weeks to get up to date on vaccines... (More $$).
I'm thinking along the exact same lines. I hear Burmese cats are great companions. They have personalities like dogs and can even play fetch games.Dogs are really great friends.
I just don't think I could walk a dog every day for the next 15 years so that's why I dont have one...maybe a cat. Someday.
