    After a year I finally got a pic of one of my dogs on here

    This is my rott, Raustyk, I took it today, she is at work w/ me. Her name is pronounced rustic, she is 5.5 years. I adopted her from death row at a local shelter, she was 6 months old at the time & I was her 5th & final home. She was abused terribly, I visited her many many times before bringing her home & never once was I able to pet her. Just something told me to get her. I worked at the vets office at the time & was training dogs in obedience, agility & behavioral & I knew everyone at the shelter so they agreed that I could have her. She was dropped off at my work (at the vets office) the morning I was able to take her, she had to be spayed first. She almost took off my cheek & neck if only I was just a split second slower to close her kennel door. Still something just said give it a try. We had to use a leash on the pole to get her out, she was not happy. Well a few hours after surgery it was time to go home, she did let me put a reg. leash on her but was very weary. I used to drive right by the shelter on my way home & I was planning on dropping her back off for euth. as I felt there was really no hope & I could not endanger myself like that. I plopped her in my car in the back seat & tied her leash to the back seat so she could not reach me in case she decided to lunge. I got into the drivers seat & looked back at her & she is kissing the air, trying to kiss me. So I slowly & gently reached back to her & she stands up wagging her whole butt & kissing my arm. Well she only got better after that. It truely was a miracle that she turned loke that!

    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    I can't see the picture, but I want to say "thankyou" for not giving up on your girl. Most people would have, I'm sure. What a happy ending to a sad start!

    Great story! I'm so glad she wasn't put down. She is so beautiful! Congrats to giving her a happy home. My dog Duke was abused also. It's hard to make them forget. Here's the link to the pic:

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    What an awsome story!!

    My Buddy Boy came from a kill shelter, and no one wanted him because he was SOOO scared of everyone!!
    Well.... I took one look at him, and knew he was comming home with me (everyone thought I was nuts!) we'll, it's 9 months now, and he's getting more and more brave by the day, although he still is VERY afraid of my hubby!!! (were still working on that!)


    God Bless You!
