I wanted an adult dog for all the reasons listed above. She's one of the best decisions I ever made in my life; energetic enough for good long walks, but calm enough to like to lay on the couch to watch some TV with me. I haven't regretted my decision for a second, and I've talked to others about adopting adult shelter dogs. I adopted an adult puppy mill dog 6 1/2 years ago.

Our 14 year old Lhasa Apso (also a rescue dog that we adopted at age 8) was failing and my wife didn't want to be without a dog in the house so we adopted while the older dog was still around. As fate would have it, Mandy, the Lhasa Apso went over the 'rainbow bridge' last Saturday, but Molly, the Havanese, was right there to fill in for her. Both dogs qualified for the 'seniors for seniors' program and have been a joy to us. No more puppies!! On July 5, 2010, we adopted a 6 year old Havanese at our local shelter.

Also never had a purebred. We just love dogs. We only have 3, I'd have more, but 3 is about right for two older adults. We have never had a puppy for all the reasons listed above.
