My husband and I are very interested in adopting a puppy. The humane society has a husky/beagle mix female puppy that is absolutely beautiful and we would love to adopt her. However, before getting in over our heads, we wanted to find out more information on these types of dogs. Can anyone help?

We have a fenced in yard for our Beagle, but we have to watch him carefully because he likes to roam the neighborhood and once started a crimewave of stealing the neighbor’s newspapers. We are planning to get him spayed to help correct this; however, he is a very good watch dog and will bay (bark) at anyone or anything who even comes near our property (we live in the country). Will he still be alert like this after he is fixed?

I have a dog and she had nine puppies a month ago and just in the last few days she has decided to stop feeding them or paying them any attention. I know they need to still nurse from her but she won’t, so what can I do to feed them. We don’t have the money to get the puppy milk, so what else can we do to feed them?

Do you think that they ALL come from backyard breeders? Or are a few from people whose female, un-spayed dog accidentally bred with another along a walk? Or are some pet shops linked with breeders who actually care about the puppies and hands them to the pet shop to sell?

And why are pet shops allowed to sell puppies anyway? They don’t really get enough attention and socialization and some take ages to be bought and that would mean staying in its kennel for a while on its own if its siblings have been sold already.

There are a few:

1) Can you have a pet pygmy owl without having a license?

2) Are pocket beagles still around?

3) Can you get a pygmy marmoset monkey in the western U.S?

4) Can you get a sugar glider is western U.S.?

I want one of these pets, can you tell me anything about them?

Thanks!
