This is Hobby, the dog dumped by his white trash Orange County owners after 8 years. I picked him up from shelter in Orange on my way back from Gainesville today. They had grown tired of him, "didn't have time for him" and put him outside in a small pen. Unhappy with being separated and isolated from his people, he became a barker. Big surprise. OMG, people are stupid.
He's not neutered, of course. The level of ignorance in rural Virginia is just astounding.
Today's adoption event in Gainesville was uneventful, except that I moved Beau to a new foster home. It was Beau's first outing and I was very happy. He was well behaved and got a lot of looks. I think he will get adopted fairly quickly, which will be good for him and will open a spot in the foster home he went to, maybe for Hobby after I get him neutered.
I had Thora and Luke along today as well. I've sent off a new write up and pics of Thora for the website, I hope that will help.
I don't know what happened to Trace (right) in his last home, but he is seriously not fond of children now. He's gorgeous, but he may prove difficult to place.

Even if we accept for the moment that people will adopt a dog without thinking through the long-term responsibility, it always surprises me that people will readily shell out $1500 of their hard-earned money for a pet they will soon "get tired of." Go figure.
