I love my doggy tooo! thanks for answering guys! =] and wow 7 out of 8 dogs?? I hope to be just like that someday =]

Answer 1

I have 3 dogs and all of them were rescued. 2 of them were puppies when I got them and the other was an adult that was abandoned. I couldn't imagine not having them around.

Answer 2

I rescued a dog that was being abused. The owners were going to shoot it. It was only a year old. I asked the owner's if I could have the dog and they said take it, it will probably bite you. It took a lot of patience and work to get the dog to trust people after what he had been through. That was seven years ago and today no ammount of money could buy him from us. He is one of the family and the kids just love him. I have never regretted my decision to take the dog. We call him Chance. Dogs are great, true friends if looked after properly.

Answer 3

My Husband and I decided it was time to get a dog , so we went to our local shelter and spent 2 hrs, thats all it took we met onnie and we feel in love. She is a poodle mix thats about 11 yrs old, blind in on eye and partly deaf .Four months after we got her she seemed lonely so we went back and found our "love sponge" mattie. She is a cocker that thinks she is a cat, she loves to walk on the back of the sofa, and curl up in your lap. I would suggest to anyone looking for a dog to go to the local shelters, they make the most loving family members and you'll be amazed at how much love a older dog has to give.

Answer 4

I love your story. I love to hear about dog adoptions. I don't have a dog YET. I have been waiting 21 years for a dog. My parents never let me have a dog. And now that i am moved out, we can't afford a dog. But i have adopted 2 kitties, kind of on accident. My first kitty i adopted from the vet clinic where i work. I saw her and fell in love. I brought her home, and she is absolutely my favorite animal in the world. I used to have to sleep with stuffed animals at night, but my kitty takes their place, and sleeps in my arms every night. And my boyfriend adopted a little kitten recently. He just brought her home one day. I was kind of upset with him for not talking to me first, but after getting to know her, i couldn't go without her. She is so silly, fun to play with.
But i am still waiting for my first dog, and i am deffinately going to adopt him. There are always dogs who need to be saved.

Answer 5

well. i got my dog from the pound, when he was a baby, and that truly was a moment that i will never forget. as i saw him there with his beautiful light blue eyes, it was just the most amazing sight. And everyday when i go downstairs there he is watching my every move, until i call him, but instead of running towards me, he wags his tail and runs away, when he knows i am not chasing him, he comes back and runs around me. Now my puppy, is 8 years old and weight about 67 kilos. and our love for our beautiful Siberian Husky will never leave.

Answer 6

I adopt all of my animals. My dogs are adopted, my cats are adopted, I even adopted 2 pet rats.

The ones that you adopt almost always turn out to be great dogs as they seem ever so grateful to be rescued!

Answer 7

7 of my 8 dogs were adopted.

Answer 8

My dog, now deceased, was a rescued racing greyhound. He had been abused but he lived a long and happy life in our house. He made our life better, too.
