    Mandy came from the shelter and Luka came from the humane society. Nova was from a breeder.

    Yes, my beloved Patches came from a rescue organization.

    But THEY rescued and I ADOPTED. Patches was a magnificent female calico kitty. She was already six months old so they were happy that I chose her over some of the cute kittens.

    Absolutely! All of my animals came as a rescue of some kind. All of my kitties were rescued from the street, and my dog Priya came from the animal shelter where I was volunteering. In fact, I was there the day she came in, and that night I just couldn't stop thinking about her, so the next day I went to the shelter and brought her home!

    Rescued pets make the best pets!

    Both of my dogs are from a shelter. One of my cats I took off of the street and the other I got from a coworker that doesn't have a good track record with cats so I consider her 'rescued' also.

    Yep, we got Grant from our local shelter. Thank goodness it's a no kill shelter.

    No, I've never gotten a pet from a shelter or rescue group. I still think that I "rescued" some of my animals though.
    I've been BOO'd!

    All three of mine are from shelters, of course a friend of mine was fostering Casey and I got to meet her before she was ready, but we did adopt through the shelter. My horse was a rescue case, pretty much, even though I did purchase her. We are thinking of adopting another dog through a shelter too.

    Yes, Misty was adopted from the SPCA and Jack was a stray we took in. The rabbits (except Jack) all came from breeders and Squeekers came from a family who couldn't keep her anymore.

    Yes! Niki and two of my cats are from the Humane Society, Bozy is from the ARPH and Buddy came from a high kill shelter. I am also fostering a Border Collie that came from a high kill shelter in Utah. Cody is the only pet that I have ever purchased and believe you me I will never do that again.
