Cats - Bo was a Christmas gift from my sister.

Abby was rescued from a guy who didn't want her anymore, and had put her outside (she was in heat).

Hanna definitely found me. I have told the story here before, I was biking and she approached me when I was taking a rest. She was skinny and very sick.

Dogs - Bandit came from my vet, he and his siblings were found outdoors, abandoned in a State Park on a very cold Feb. day. The people who found him brought him to my vet's, I adopted him 2 months later.

Rocky and Gandy came with my SO, they were his dogs.

Pepper, my horse, I bought. I hadn't had a horse for four years, and it was time for me to get another. I've had her the longest, 18 years.
