"Well， we're in our new house. Let's get a new pet，" Mrs Brown said to her husband.
"That sounds a good idea，" he answered.
"Let's go to the animals shelter. Many pets there need homes. we can go together tomorrow，" she said.
The next morning， the Browns met Mr Snow at the animal shelter. "We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes，" Mr Snow said， "So I need to ask you some questions. "
After they talked for a while， the Browns planned to get a small dog. It wouldn't need a big house or a big yard. A small dog would bark and warn（警告） them if someone tried to come into their house. After Mr Snow gave the Browns a book on pet care， they chose one and wanted to take her home at once. But the animal doctor needed to check her. So Mr Snow told them to come again the next day. On Sunday afternoon the Browns went to the animal shelter. The animal doctor said， "Shadow has all of the shots（预防针）. She will be healthy." The Browns thanked the doctor and went home with the dog.
