    Hi tiger! Welcome. I have a rescued Jack Russell Terrier mix (the black and white one in my picture), we think that's what she is anyway. She apparently suffered some abuse at a man's hands as well. She didn't like my husband at all at first, but now we're all getting along much better. I don't know why some people are so mean, but aren't you glad there are lots more like us?
    Oh, BTW, what's your dogs name?

    Welcome to Pet Talk. Of our three dogs: Sassee, a beagle, was rescued from a puppy mill by my fiancee over 12 years ago. Then we had to rescue her and her puppy Ginger from my fiancee's ex hubby. He took care of the pets about as well as he cared for the grown human children.
    Scott is owned by 5 cats: Jackson, Fluffy, Twidgit, Ashton, Lexi;
    and 3 dogs: Eli, Sassee, Ginger

    Welcome to PetTalk! Out of our four I have one rescue. We got her from the neighbors, who along with their older male shepard were starving her to death.

    As you can see she's not starving anymore. In fact, she shared my breakfast this morning and since no one else would get up she got everyone's share!



    She is the dog that everyone who comes to visit says "If you ever want to get rid of her, I'll take Carly." Like I'd let her go - NOT! She's one of my babies.

    We'd love to see pictures of your baby as soon as you have some.

    Ripley (black poodle in my signature) is a rescued dog. He has been with us since 1/16/03 and I can't even remember life before he came. He is a doll baby and it seems like he has always been here! He just blended in so well instantly! I was at the shelter where I got him just yesterday, to get papers to filled out now that we have had him neutered. Of course after I finished with that I walked through the shelter and looked at the cage where I first laid eyes on him. I am so glad he is not there any more but living with me now in his forever home! It made me sad though. So many dogs, so few homes.

    Thank you, Pam! The pic is a bit old, though. It's from 2001. I'll have to get more on-line to post.
