Rescue dogs are the best. My family has bought two dogs in my 47 years. The rest have been rescues. I wish I had a fenced yard, more money, and a husband willing to have more than two dogs. I would have 10 if I could (without getting divorced.)

We adopted a 10 month old male Husky/Sheltie mix two weeks ago. He is so smart, and truly the funniest dog I've ever met. He is sooooo expressive with those husky ears! The Nat'l Geographic Channel is running a program called "Designer Dogs." Try to catch it. There's a new breed called an Alaskan Klee Kai, which is a mix between a Siberian Husky, an Alaskan Malamute, and two other breeds ( I forget which ones.) The result is a tiny little husky, perfect for the house. Our Roscoe looks a lot like a Klee Kai, with more of a rounded Sheltie face.

We have 2 rescues from a shelter also. Pickles is a shepard mix and kosmo, she is a schnoodle... schauzer poodle mix, very tempermental and finickey like a poodle,lol she loves to go on vacations with us and go bye bye too. It breaks my heart to see animals mistreated and I wish I could adopt them all. To me it seems these rescued animals know you have saved them from death. They are so loyal and so giving and willing to please, just to be loved. I wouldnt trade these dogs for anything they are tied to my heart strings. The world needs more people like you, and maybe the world would be a better place, If people would show more love and kindness.

I have 5 dogs and out of the 5, 4 were rescues. My one and only non-rescue is an American Eskimo(mini) named Xena who swears she is people in dog clothing. My rescues are King, an older (approx 8 yrs) Rough Collie. He is so gorgeous. His original owners abused the hell out of him. He was so matted when rescued 2 hours before he was to be euthanized by another lady from a humane society that all his hair had to be shaved. He could not walk on his hind leg at all. Now his hair is grown in and he is RUNNING on all 4 of his legs now. Then the humane society had a collie mix that had a litter of puppies and was homeless. They asked if I would take her and I gladly did once she had weaned the puppies. Then I found Belle, a sweet little black lab mix that had been through hell too. When I found her she was missing and eye and it was severely infected. Her ear was split as well. I took her to the vet......they did surgery on her and cleaned and sewed her little eye shut. She is the sweetest little angel. Then when going to visit a friend of mine in Dublin, GA....I saw the cutest little puppy alongside the interstate. She looked so lost. I stopped and she came right to me. I took her home and she is great. She looks to be a lab mix as well. Anyone else into rescuing animals? I love it! But wish I had a bigger place to keep them all!
