Both of our dogs are rescue dogs, Stanley was on the street before Puppy Pals got him, Milo was with old people who could no longer take care of him.

My wife and I have rescued dogs,cats,horses and a pony.Every one we rescued turned out to be exceptional pets/family members.
I believe that every animal deserves a chance to enjoy it’s life.

I've had rescue dogs but none in that bad shape. My first Jack Russell had to stay in his cage for the first week because he was vicious but he settled down into a loving pup.

The JRT I have now has never been hurt, hungry, cold or anything. Bowser is just happy to be.

I can’t help but think of Milo’s previous owners.It would be a bitter thing to have to give up your dog in that way.

I've gotten over 40 cats off the street into no-kill shelters or homes. Two of those taken into homes were mine. I dunno, cats just find me. The last rescue was 2 days before Hurricane Sandy. Someone apparently dumped a 3 week old baby kitten in the backyard. I heard it crying, immediately realized it was a baby kitten distress cry and ran down to get it. I took it to a pet store I knew (all shelters were full or not answering their phone) who would keep it until it was of an adoptable age and then adopt it out.

How anyone could have dumped that adorable kitten is beyond me. And how anyone could have abused that poor pup until it was so terrified of humans is beyond belief. I surely would have visited a great deal of wrath on that subhuman, given the opportunity. I am sure that the subhuman who abused that baby dog would have to undergo an entire gauntlet of horrific and wholly deserved beatdown from enraged FReepers!
