The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for February 18, 2010

Rescued dogs make some of the best pets too. Voice of experience here.

As opposed to those inbred freaks at the Westminster Dog Show

I’ll just keep my lab, thank you. Best dog in the world!!!

I’ll agree, but from the cat point of view. :) All of mine have been/are rescues…

My cat’s a rescue, too…..and he show’s his appreciation a little too often with little “presents” he brings to the house.

my little Norfolk is not a freak.

Be they from a breeder or a shelter, just as long as they are loved.

why pay for a pet, when you can rescue one for free? My cat was 5 lbs with 5 kittens when they found her. needless to say, she is well-tended, and a GREAT pet!

At present I have three: 1 bought from a breeder; 1 “bought” from the animal shelter; and 1 free-rescued from the streets. The “free” one may well be the most expensive dog I have ever owned-lots of health issues. Rescuing one from a shelter nowadays is getting rather expensive. Oh, by the way, I love ‘em all! I had a fourth, another “free” rescue, but I gave him to my Uncle who had just lost his dog.

“With a family in Victoria”?

Oh dear.

If that’s what I think it means, I’m sorry, Adrian.

awwwww…

Spread the word–adopt needy animals! Thanks, Mr. Raeside!

Gotta love em” POUND PUPPYS”.

The little dog looks like a Papillon. I have 3 rescued Papillons myself. I work with a wonderful organization called “Papillon Haven Rescue” www.paphaven.org
