Adopt or Buy? Oh my!

So, DH and I had our hears set on another Boston Terrier. We went to an adoption event yesterday and found a cutie jack russel mix puppy and fell in love. Her parents were abandoned in the woods and mom nearly died trying to feed her and her 8 brothers and sisters :(

Now, I'm so torn. I'd love to adopt one of these little guys, but part of me still wants a Boston. I know this is really our decision, but any help on deciding if I want a little Nibbler (Boston) or a little Ally (Jack Russel Mix).

(yes - we have separate names for both :P)

It's hard to say. If you are buying from a reputable breeder, that is surely one option. But adopting is a wonderful option as well. It's up to you based on what you really want. I know you had your heart set on another Boston, but maybe the Jack Russell pup will be right for you and you will be saving her life. Tough call. Only you can decide. Chat Icon
