Fellow Rescuers

I just want to thank those on this forum that adopted from a local shelter or rescue. Especially the older pets less likely to find a home. I have been to my local shelter to adopt x2 and I wished I could take them all!! Pretty sad experience to look in all those eyes and know many of them will be put down. I don't want to start a fight about pure breed dogs and rescues. I have both and love them all. Happy New Year to all my fellow pet lovers.

Nice post. I adopt seniors. I know not everyone can, for a variety of reasons. I can, so I do!

My daughter adopted from a shelter...A little ball of sweet white fluff. She has gained about 15 lbs since being adopted about 8 months ago. It is obvious she appreciates having a home. And she likes coming to see her grandma and grandpa. Love that!

Now, my dh and I weren't looking for any more animals, but they have found us. We have all been blessed.

Yes, thank you for rescuing and adopting. I take in seniors with issues. They're the most loving, sweet and appreciative little souls. They are a blessing in our lives. They enrich our lives and do much more for us than we could ever do for them.

I prefer to adopt older dogs. I have had puppies and they are a lot of work to potty train etc....

I have also adopted 3 older furbabies, and they are the sweetest and just love any attention they can get.

All my pets have been rescues since I got my first cat 40+ years ago. I've had 5 cats (one lived to be 19), and took in my mother's cat when she went into assisted living (she showed up at mom's front door during a rain storm). I rescued my first dog 6 years ago and she is now 10. The shelter told me she was 2 but my vet said she was more like 4. So my current count is 1 dog and 1 cat.

Several times I have ended up with rescue dogs. One of them a victim of a divorce, another one owner died and one that the family had a baby. They have all been very loving sweet fur babies who lost their home through no fault of their own. I never know when there is going to be a phone call or a knock on the door.
