Meet Alias. He's a 12/13 year-old pit bull mix. His owner, according to the shelter, lost his job and could not take care of him properly. He was up for adoption at a "kill" shelter.
My son and I walked all the cages, and we asked to visit with Alias. It's been about 9 months since we lost our dear friend Gus, and I know we will never be able to replace him. However, we felt there was an empty spot here on Rooster's Crow Farm, and we thought we'd take some time to go look for a new member. The shelter said, that if there was a problem, we could return Alias within 10 days of adoption.
Most of the dogs at the shelter were of a hound breed. In fact, one was in there because it was caught going after chickens. There were a variety of dogs of all ages and sizes.
