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!!!!

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.

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.
