Thanks, they make great pets, don’t they? and are so loyal and thankful they have a home. One rescue, I stumbled upon a purebred GSD at our local humane society, she came home with us that day. It was pure luck I was there, and she was there. I was looking for a puppy for my parents, I came home with an 8 year old GSD. I couldn’t leave her there.
I really enjoy adopting the dogs no one wants. Isn’t that the point? To rescue a puppy is one thing, to rescue an elder or health issue dog is commitment.
I adopted my female last year from GSROC because at 11 years old her chances of being adopted were slim. Turns out she has no health issues and has worn out her much younger foster mates. I have to constantly remind her to stop pulling so hard after a three mile walk.
