So happy you adopted a rescue, we have had many dogs through the years and every one of them were rescues. Each of them has a special place in my heart.

Oregon Humane society has a wonderful program where dogs over 6yrs are about $85 and as another older female, my discount was $50!!!!

And so Lyla found me! She knew I needed her and I'm just so thrilled to hear a tail "whap" the floor again! I'll be forever grateful to Rebecca of burchquilts for her post! Will send a copy to the humane society. :)

Kitsie! I'm NOT a crier! Y'all KNOW I'm NOT a crier! And now you've got me crying like a baby! I cannot take any credit for wonderful, beautiful Lyla coming into your life (BTW... had Leo been a female, we were going to name him Lyla, too... GMTA!). It was destiny & I was a mere conduit, via Leo via the rescue group I got him from. It was just meant to be. I am so, so, so happy for the both of you! She's so beautiful & I know she'll have a wonderful, loving forever home with you. I couldn't be happier! Hugs her for Leo & I, OK? And keep us all posted on her journey with you!

She is just beautiful! My last 3 dogs were all rescues and my cat was a stray baby in the park. They bring such joy and I am glad you have each other!

You know the saying... "My favorite breed of dog is rescued"... so true!

She's a beauty. Looks quite a bit like my neighbor's dog. There is something so very special about a rescue dog. With a little patience, they bond so totally to you as if they realize the gift they have been given.

What a cute chow chow mix, for some reason chow mixes always come out the sweetest dogs even though the purebreds don't have too many nice ones.

Kitsie 06-06-2012 08:29 PM

And more importantly the gift they are giving you makes them confident and relaxed I believe.
and yes, SouthP it is funny how the pure Chows can be domineering and bratty but the mixes, like many breeds and other animals like horses are often the best! Thought I saw Chow Chow in her though her card said Shepherd mix! Seems like every unknown breed is a shepherd mix if medium or large and the small are Terrier mixes! Whatever. Here are two old ladies making each other's lives fuller. She's not as big as she appears - about springer Spaniel size.
