Since when does adopt mean "BUY" ??

I am looking into getting a puppy to stay with me at my new residence. Aaron already has a 2 year old German Shephard named Duke, but I would like something of my own and Aaron said Duke needs a play pal. So he is ok with me getting one. I do understand that owning a pet is a big responsibility and I am pretty sure that I am up for the challenge.

The first thing I did was check the classified ads in the Sunday paper. I was looking for ads that were giving away puppies. I do not want something too old. In my opinion getting a developed dog takes away some of the bonding experience and the beat down time. And we all know how I love to give my dogs beat downs. Well, there was nothing there for 2 month old puppies so I asked around to find an animal shelter. There was actually one about 20 minutes from our house so I drove out there and it was called Safe Animal Shelter. It is one of those no kill places. Whoopty frickin doo. Just let them suffer to death instead of poking them with a needle. Sounds much more humane. Anyway, they had a small selection of puppies, maybe a dozen, and I browsed around. There were a couple that fit my ideal look and size. The one I ended up putting in an application for...ya, I had to fill out an application and there is a 3 day waiting period for them to review your application...her name is Robin and yes, that will change when she becomes my dog. She is a shephard mix by their records, but she looks almost exactly like Kooter did when she was a puppy. It is all brown with a short snout and it is very playful and well behaved. She wasn't barking when all the other dogs in the kennel were. I got a message on Aaron's house phone yesterday from the Safe Animal Shelter and the woman said she had some questions she needed to ask me. Is that not some crazy shit? Anyway, if they do allow me to adopt this puppy it is going to cost me $75. The good thing is that it will already have it's shots and de-worming.

I need some input on what to name this little bitch.
