So, I went to the animal shelter today and found a dog I'm planning to adopt come Monday. He's also getting neutered Monday. His name is Rhett (the shelter named him), and he's a short, but hefty pitbull (much like a cob... small, but large). He's an amazing dog, and I love him to death. He actually came and sat on my lap. :)) Only problem is, I wasn't able to adopt him today due to reasons beyond my control (I could've had it been any other day), so I have to hope he's still available Monday morning when I go in to look at/adopt him (they actually are closed Friday through Sunday, and were only open another 2 hours after I left today, so that's hopeful!). Please wish me luck and help me keep my hopes up that he'll still be available! :x I'll definitely post pictures of him once I get some!
I know the whole pitbull stereotypes, but I truly love them. Most of them are honestly the best dogs anyone could ever ask for.

OOOOoo! Puppy! I hope he's there waiting when you go back. Bright and early cause puppy jail sucks. Can't wait for updates on this.

@Seaswell, thank you! It really does suck!

Good luck! Shelter dogs are amazing! Since hes a pitty he'll probably still be there. They make amazing dogs but get adopted the least sadly since people are ignorant about them.

Good luck on the pup! Hope hes there waiting for you!

Wolfgang, I do hope you're right, though most of the dogs there are pitties. It's really sad. I can name maybe 10 dogs that weren't pitbulls out of about 40. I saw dogs being adopted left and right yesterday, but hopefully he wasn't one after I left. Sometimes, the perfect dog isn't the one you see right off, but something told me as soon as I saw him that he was the one. They had a husky. I've always wanted a husky. But Rhett just "spoke" to me as soon as I saw him. I knew he was the one.

@LumosRain, thank you! I hope so, too!

Just one day to go! I'll be going in early Monday morning, right as they open! Already have a collar, leash, a few toys, treats, and food dish for him, or in case he's not available and I decide to take a different one. He'd better be available! Lol

I have high hopes for you! I'm really happy their getting adopted! I totally get when a dog just speaks to you that happened with my GSD rescue

Thanks!
I love german shepherds, wish I could have one, and the shelter did have one, but she didn't call out to me like Rhett did.

We had a husky for 14 years from a rescue. Best dog ever. Way too smart for his own good. Loved kids and cats. I can't wait to see your coming home pic.

@Seaswell, I love Huskies! And thank you!
