They may chew off your new sneakers. They may urinate in your groceries. And they may look at you adoringly before snatching that last piece of chicken. No, I’m not talking about your little brother. I’m talking about your lovable mutt. Whether that pup of yours came from an animal shelter or a humane society, it has given you that special unconditional love that only a wagging tail can provide. While you still can’t tell what mixed breed it came from (how many different breeds of terriers and spaniels are out there anyway?), it still caught your attention to bring home. Now, in honor of National Mutt Day, here are ten adoptable dogs to tug at your heartstrings:
10. Found in La Puente, California, Dakota is a 5-year-old female Longhaired Chihuahua Sheltie mix at the Baldwin Park Animal Shelter.
9. Abandoned by her owners at the Downey Animal Shelter in California, Hanna is a 2-year-old female Brittany Spaniel mix.
