Rescue a Pet in Need...

I found my beautiful sweet husky through Petfinder.com. The owner was moving and had too many dogs. She was six years old and I was told she had an incontinence problem. It turned out after I took her to the vet, the vet said the medication that she was on probably was a greater risk and that he saw no reason why she would have that sort of problem. He had me take her off the medication and she's never had a problem at all.

T's dog is a three year old Australian shepherd. He was rescued from the Milo Foundation near Berkley, CA. T traveled from Southern California to pick him up. We found him through Pet Finder which links to Milo. Jack the dog is partially blind. My friend was afraid that they wouldn't ever find a home for him and wanted to give him a great home, with fun, attentiveness and loving care. This is Jack!

Both dogs get along well together and they both love my cat. They chase her a bit sometimes for fun but if she's in no mood for their kind of fun she lets them know to back off. Sometimes she looks for them to play with.

I'm so blessed to have all of these animals in my life..they bring me joy and laughter every day. The thing that everyone should keep in mind is these were both older dogs, not the cute puppies that everyone seems to choose first. Think about the mature dogs and cats, the special needs dogs and cats, not just puppies. Puppies and kittens will usually find a home. The others need homes and love of a family, too.

The rescues, Humane Society, ASCPA and SCPA are all great places to look...






Also make sure your pets are spayed and micro chipped. There is abundance of animals being euthanized every year because there aren't enough homes! If you can't adopt an animal send a donation to a local rescue or no kill facility. If you don't want to do that..one can always give old quilts, blankets, a couple of bags or dog or cat food...most of them list things they are in need of. Please help these animals, humans with a heart are their only hope!
