We do a lot of animal rescues. In fact, we currently have 7 dogs and 9 cats. I think rescued animals make the most wonderful pets. They are always full of gratitude and love. : )
We have adopted three rescued dogs and they are the sweetest dogs in the world.
My "adopted pet" actually adopted me...he turned up one rainy night in my village, soaked to the skin and when I put my hand down to "talk" to him he bit it !...and refused to let go (yow)...so I dragged him up the path and fed him.
I have ten cats, all rescued from my area that came to our house to eat. When they, finally, let us pet them, we trap them, spay them and keep them. We are at our limit now, but I will advertise in the paper for adoption to an indoor home only. Six of these kitties are ours. They seem like they know how lucky they are and turn out to be wonderful pets.
This rescue bit has become a real racket here in California. You would not believe the prices for rescued animals, and the cronyism among the rescuers. It is a disgrace.
Two cats adopted us over the years. The male was a huge black DSH called Midnight. He actually adopted five families in our neighborhood. I wrote an article called "The Midnight Connection" for our local newspaper about it.
I have never kept a cat imprisoned in my home, and they all lived to at least seventeen.
I have also raised two dogs from rescue, a Malti and a Yorkie.
O.
My most recent is a cat that some awful person dropped at the campground we go to. She came onto our site extremely thin and had a hurt leg. I had to feed her. At first she would not let us touch her. She would smack or bite us. Now she's adopted us. She is so sweet and loving. I can't understand how anyone could have just dumped her liked that.
Yes our Jack Russell, Cookie. She had been left
in a large kennel with no food or water for 12 or longer in an apartment . The person who found her asked me to take the dog to the pound, well I showed her to my husband and he said YES. I asked him, "this is what I want for Christmas (2005) and nothing else!" So we have Cookie from day one was so grateful to go to vet for check up and nutrition advice at about 1 year old she weighed a measley bone-y 8 pounds or so.
Yes! Three days before this past Christmas, a 5 Year old Boston Terrier named Chachi showed up in my yard. I kept him through the holidays hoping his owner would return from vacation and claim him. I soon found out that he was hit by a car 3 years ago and barely survived! He had all kinds of broken bones and his jaw was broken in 6 places and had to be wired. He bit his tongue so hard that it caused permanent nerve damage and now it hangs out all the time. I also found out that he lived down the street and he was ABANDONED when the people moved across town. He is the sweetest dog! He has to be spoon fed can food because his tongue just does not cooperate in the eating and drinking process.
We rescued a little dog the day before we got married. She turned out to be the best dog either of us had ever had. At the time we thought she was a mix of who knew how many different breeds. But 12 years later watching the AKC dog show, I found out she was a specific breed that I had never heard of before!
