Good news, this Sat 3/14/15 this dog rescue organization will hold an Adoption event in Brownwood.
Poodle and Pooch Rescue has small dogs for adoption in Florida
They have some really cute, well-vetted, sweet dogs waiting for you to take them home.
Also, most rescue organization also have a contract that specifies your obligations and their rights to remove the dog from your home should they find evidence of abuse or neglect. Most rescue organizations require you to contact them before giving their dog to someone else.
Adopt don't shop! Good luck.
Please post pics of your new pet addition if you adopt one at this Sat's event in Brownwood.
