Adoptable dogs no longer identified by breed in Orange County

8. I wanted a Harrier - i.e. big beagle and I had to drive 3 hours to adopt one.

I drove all the way there and the picture did look right, although it may have been distorted - when I got there - no way was this dog a harrier. I't head was more fox like with a narrow head and snout and a long thin body. It was at a retirement farm paid for by a no kill shelter as unadoptable. The people who ran this place, were being paid to do it and loved dogs, but not this one. I ended up adopting her just because I did not want to leave her there as the only dog not allowed to run free because they said she was "vicious" - NOT

Yes, if I knew it was a hunting dog, rodent killer, I would not have driven all the way there especially with her body stink, had to air out my car for weeks. took 3 baths and a shower to get the smell down and this is a dog that does not have to bath often because she cleans herself like a cat.
