It's a loooooong story.. but worth it.. believe me..
I will start from the very beginning.. so it will take a lil while, but not that much :P.. anyway.. in one of the FBrescue pages I frequent was a post saying a dog had been hit by a car and they were asking if anyone had it near and could go and check it out and take a pic to see what condition the dag was in..
well.. it all took place on the way to my kid's school.. needless to say I drove by.. saw the dog.. saw his injured paw.. (don't worry no blood, it was an old injury).. so I got off the car to take a pic and show he was ok.. but.. yeah.. thereīs a but.. haha when I did the dog stood up and started wagging his tail off and had a look as if saying "yay! you came for me".. so yes, I opened the door and he tried to get in, I had to help a bit because of his paw, but once in he layed down all the way back home... aww..
how could I leave such a sweet dog making puppy eyes to me..

once home he let himself in all the way to the backyard, as if he knew and had lived here forever..
next day, I took him to the vet so he could check him out and see if there was anything that could be done about his paw.. results his injury was at least 2-3 months old and already set.. only option was amputation of the leg.. but wasn't recommended nor needed.. the dog can walk, just fine and doesn't seemed to be bothered by it, only he wouldn't put weight on it.. other than that he was ok.. he behaved great
this is a pic of his paw.. two fingers are completely crushed/twisted.. makes me sad he never got that looked after earlier
next stop, groomers..everyone there loooooooved him.. they said he had the sweetest temper and wondered how long I had had him.. they were shocked to know it was 1 day only :P.. he did awesome and came out looking even more beautiful and now you could see more clearly his spots
he's a Dalmatian.. but his genetics were pretty weird.. allowing almost non spots to show up on the white fur.. (he does have some but few and faint).. and a gorgeous set of blue eyes (he's not deaf btw)

I had not seen any reports of a missing dog with his caracteristics.. and until now I still haven't.. not on posters, newspaper, internet, anywhere.. seems noone is missing him.. not even since before he got injured.. and I couldn't keep calling him "dog".. so I named him ASTRO..

and yes, he's still here .... hehehe (I posted him in hopes to find a furever home, but it's unsettling wondering who'd be the right person for him.. he's all love.. but would anyone love him despite his bad paw?.. would he be kicked out because of it?.. and it seems my folks are rather in an awwww mood with him.. not sure if because of his paw.. but it has made him stay this long.. lol)

wel.. this is Astro's story.. the name totally suited him.. (Astro= celestial body= star= sky= blue& white)
-----------------------------
then... came along Hoover.. haha..(this name was just given like the day before yesterday).. a guy had a Rottie momma and was going out of town.. and had left 3 rottie babies.. but momma was bitting them too much and since he would not be here, his mom, who'd be taking care of the rottie mom, would have had a lot of trouble so long story short I took her in.. (she's a foster)

I came up with Hoover because she inhales food as a vaccum, brand Hoover.. lol
a few peeps have been interested but haven't heard back of any.. she's been here for 2 weeks.. in the last 4-5 days I started teaching her to sit and down and she does pretty good at it (considering she was a jump freak.. and now she sits obediently.. yay)

she was afraid of everything.. and now she's not
