Dave: Hi! :) How are you doing?
Jane: Hello! Not too bad, just chilling right now. You?
Dave: Good, good. I'm writing because we didn't have the chance to finish our conversation yesterday.
Jane: That's right! You promised to send me some useful links.
Dave: Exactly! Here there are: <file_other>, <file_other>, <file_other>
Dave: These are the ones I found the most helpful. First days are the most difficult, but you'll find good tips on what to do, what to avoid, etc.
Dave: And here's the link to the shelter where I found Trixie :) <file_other>
Jane: Wow! Thanks Dave!
Dave: No problem. I'm happy to hear that someone's considering adopting a dog instead of buying one.
Jane: I thought about buying, because I love pugs and other small dogs. I was reading about them and I found out that they have a lot health issues.
Jane: I don't want to buy a dog that's going to die in three years or I spend all days at the vet.
Dave: It's actually proven that mutt's have much better health than purebred dogs.
Jane: That's why I've heard too. So I thought it may be a better idea to adopt :)
Dave: See, I've always dreamed about a German shepherd, but then I went to the shelter with my friend and found Trixie :)
Dave: Adopting a dog is not as easy as it may seem, but I think that's good. I was asked to fill in a questionnaire, had two interviews (;)) and a trial walk, before they agreed to give me Trixie. So be prepared to have your flat checked and everything.
Jane: I don't mind that at all.
Dave: Here's Trixie :) <file_photo>
Jane: She's sooo cute! <3
Jane: I'm only afraid they won't let me adopt a dog, because I've never had one.
Dave: Oh don't worry about that! I didn't have one either!
Dave: Go to the webpage I sent you, or a find a different shelter, and look at the dogs that are waiting for adoption. We all have our preferences, but I advise you to be honest with the caretakers and tell them what kind of dog you would like to have.
Jane: Thank you! What if I like a dog that will not be suitable for me?
Dave: Hm, I'd rather go for the personality than for the looks, same with people I guess ;) I'd prefer my friends to be nice than pretty ;)
Jane: It's true, sounds logical ;)
Dave: If you have any doubts or questions, do not hesitate to ask me. I went the same road, so I hope I may be able to help you.
Jane: Thank you so much! I probably will have a lot of questions :D
Jane wants to adopt a dog. Dave adopted a Trixie from a shelter.
