Why choosing your next pet might not be a case of love at first sight

Love at first sight is something you might hope for when choosing your next pet. But experienced shelter staff will tell you that isn't always the right approach. In the case of many animals -- it's all about seeing the possible first.
For the perfect example, we've headed east to Trumbull County for a return trip to the dog pound in the city of Warren.
We were there last December to help spread the word about dogs that needed a warm place for the holidays.
It's rare for the kennel not to be filled. Just as other shelters and rescues are experiencing a great influx of abandoned dogs, Trumbull County Dog Pound is, too. But the challenge here is greater through no fault of the dedicated people who work here or donate their time.
Converted from an old garage, the small building has only 14 kennels for all of the county. Another eight dogs can be housed outside -- weather permitting.
But there is some good news on the horizon. A new facility is in the planning stages and the groundbreaking is scheduled for this fall.
