WHY DO WE DO THIS?

Why do we spend so much time, energy and emotions rescuing dogs? Some of the canines we help are just good dogs who end up in high kill shelters and need a little more time to find the right human, so we take them in and introduce them to the public. Some dogs were owned by morons who got rid of them when they grew out of the puppy stage, and got bigger than a chihuahua. Or worse, by people who thought of them as disposable assets and dumped them when they "had" to move, or had a baby, or whatever feeble excuse they could come up with to get rid of a dog because owning it became a tiny bit inconvenient.

And, then, there are dogs like Faith. Take a look at this, and you'll understand the real reason we do this.

I totally understand why we do this. I have a rescued standard poodle. She spent the first 2 years of her life in a kennel as a breeding bitch. By the tender age of 2 she had 2 litters of pups and had never been groomed. She was a sight. Now, 1 1/2 years later she is a beautiful dog who lives in our house and has lots of freedom outside. She is an excellent companion and a wonderful dog. Don't understand irresponsible pet ownership.
