Yes, I was expecting that question. Nope. It was 9 years ago I got her, and SPCA didn't have any suitable dogs during the time I decided I was getting one (against my parents' wishes). Was looking for a small dog (live in apartment) which didn't shed (we gave up a dog when I was a kid due to my extended coughing and my mum was convinced it was due to the dog and didn't want her to make me give up another dog).
Oz has several different shelters and they are able to offer a bigger range due to space.

Puppies are A LOT of work. Can't leave them alone in the house for long. They're babies what. You can be cruel but they do get scared and cry and stuff. You won't know the dog's temperament. Dunno what they will grow up to be like. Puppies are very cute and all, but if you haven't had one before, and are not extremely into dogs, I personally think taking care of a non-puppy is more suitable.
