What happened to the breed descriptions for the available dogs?
After much discussion, it was decided to remove the breed types from the dog pages due to the fact that we really don’t know what breed any given dog is. Guesses of the breeds were made based primarily on visual characteristics, but as we rarely see the mom and never see the dad, these guesses have little value and were creating confusion among potential adopters. Most dogs that we encounter are mixed breed – they may have the “looks” of one breed, the “size” of another and the “personality” of a third breed. This change has been well received by our volunteers and adopters alike.
