Dog adoption take 2

Another day, another dog.  Wait.  Yep, another dog. 

We've been talking about adopting a second dog for a while, and after seeing some good potential fits, we went through with adopting a young adult dog named Rascal...

Rascal getting comfy

So far things seem to be going fairly well between Shay and Rascal.  They're even sharing her favorite place to wait for us :):

 

Shay and Rascal taking it easy

Clodagh pointed it out to me, but this experience and the investigation we did on petfinder made us realize how unusual the adoption was - we basically showed up and and then came home with her straightaway very little checking or background documentation on either side.  It looks like most places actually do background checks, ensure that there's proper medical history of the dog, a lot do home visits to ensure that it looks appropriate, etc.  Who knew? :)
