Very nice; I prefer it when people adopt instead of paying lots of cash for purebred animals. For instance, when "101 Dalmatians" came out a lot of thoughtless people rushed out to buy dalmatians - and then gave them up when their kids got bored.
Not a dog, but my "Nephew" Henry is a non-purebred rescue who was brought to a shelter as a feral - he has been a great pet! My sister's other cats are "kept in line" by him - tough guy! lol.
