She found me!!
1 Attachment(s)
I lost my old dog back in the fall and could not afford to get another. I was thinking and had seen that even some "rescue"-ing dogs were over $100 or more. After reading this wonderful post, I decided to actually look for an older female. Oregon Humane society has a wonderful program where dogs over 6yrs are about $85 and as another older female, my discount was $50!!!!

I'll be forever grateful to Rebecca of burchquilts for her post! Will send a copy to the humane society. :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]340186[/ATTACH] |
Beautiful ending to your story. Rescue dogs that I foster are free. You really have to do a lot of investigating to find the right place. I am glad you and Lydia found each other!
|
So glad you have a fuzzy one in your life again. My current dog ( avatar) is a rescue .. I know we belong together. So happy for you that you have that beautiful face to bring a smile to yours.
|
Oh my, she IS beautiful, isn't she? Glad you found the perfect match!
|
Aw, how cute!! i have three cats whom I couldnt' do without and i get to love on my neighbors dog too!! I'm happy for you and for her.
|
Congratulations, on your new furbaby! Looks like a real sweetie! :)
|
wonderful wonderful so happy you two found each other. hug her for me.
|
So happy you found such a wonderful new friend, she is a beauty.
|
Best wishes to both of you. I love having pets and would lost without them.
|
Congratulations on rescuing two lives!
|
I now have goosebumps all over and tears in my eyes of happiness.....The post that made you go looking for your furbaby made me sad (because I would like to rescue ALL animals - DH says NO WAY) but your post has put such a beautiful finish to it. Thank you for posting -
|
So happy for you both! Congratulations from me and my 3 Goldens, Jonah, Sam and Anna.
|
What a wonderful story! Your new family member is lovely and I know the two of you will be very happy together. Congratulations!
|
Lyla is beautiful and just look at the knowledge in her eyes. I'm so glad that you found each other. Congratulations.
|
Lyla is a beauty and I love her sweet doggy smile! I am so glad you found each other. I can't imagine not having pets!
|
Aw, a happy ending. I hope you have a long and rewarding time together. She's beautiful. (Welcome home Lyla)
|
She is beautiful and quite regal. You are a blessed lady.:o
|
Awww, what a wonderful story. I,m so glad you got her and she is sooooo sweet looking.
|
Thank you all so much!! Have to laugh at what her previous owners had to say about her, mostly very good, but doesn't like a lot of fussing over her? May not be good with children? Hah! My DGS came over to meet her and used Cesar Milans "no touch, no talk, no eye-contact" but he just slid down the wall until he was sitting on the floor. Lyla came over, sniffed him, gave him the tipped-head question look, and lay down with her head in his lap!
Yep, she's got real problems!! LOL Can't tell you how my eyes welled up when I first heard her tail "whap" the floor! Just like Clyde! (My DD 2 are both bobbed tails) So thanks for helping me enjoy her even farther! |
This is a win win situation. I'm so glad for you and Lyla. My own fur baby is a rescue also, he has brought me so much happiness and laughter, I wish the same for you.
|
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.
|
that is just awesome..good for you and Lyla!

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!

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.
|
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.

Oh, she's so pretty too! Congratulations on finding a new friend! :)
|
Congratulations! Beautiful dog and wonderful story!!
|
Kitsie, so glad you found Lyla or she found you. Nothing like having a dog around, they are such company. She is a very nice looking dog.
|
Love your story - she looks so happy to have found you!! I am sure she knows that she has found a truly forever happy home. Happy for both of you.
|
She's adorable and how wonderful that you rescued her. You 2 deserve each other.
|
Congratulations and what a beautiful fur baby! We just rescued a lab mix puppy. If we hadn't taken her (cost $71 to cover spaying and shots) she would have been put down the next morning. She is wonderful and fits in with the other 3 very well. Now, the cat has taken a while to warm up.

Awwww! She's adorable and sure looks happy to be with you. We rescued a little furbaby last October and fell in love with him. Cutest most lovable dog ever!!!
|
So glad that you both have a special friend again!
Hugs Caroline |
So glad you have a "new" pet - and I'm glad you were able to adopt! I had a co-worker who had 2 cats for years, one of them darted out the door as she was leaving one day. She was heartbroken - put up flyers, posted ads, checked the humane society for months. Finally she decided it was time to move on and went to the humane society to adopt another cat. They refused - they said because she lost one cat, she was an unfit pet-parent. Good grief.
|
she is exquisite! lots of love for both of you!! couldn't make it without my ladies!
|
Peggi, that is so sad!!! Please tell her that there many places with cats to adopt and she should not give up (as I almost did).
