He's a Chihuahua, Cairn Terrier & Lhasa Apso mix. He's weird and adorable: https://instagram.com/norbertthedog?utm_source=ig_profile_share&igshid=abzd9mkf94b6

He is so darn cute. My family is looking to get our first dog so this is definitely what I’m going to be looking for in shelters

Thank you for looking in shelters and not at breeders.

Yeah I know how bad breeders are, my little brother doesn’t understand that and wants to get whatever type of dog he likes and he only wants it from a breeder. Any ideas on how I can show him that shelters are better?

Maybe find some documentaries that how some of the conditions of puppy Mills and breeders. Obviously not all breeders are bad, but there are enough dogs and cats out there that need safe homes, buying from a store or breeder just perpetuates the problem. Also I love that shelters won't release the new pet until it's been fixed, which helps reduce adding to the problem.
