Have you ever rescued from a shelter, pound, or rescue group?

Spot was rescued from a shleter in very sense of the word. He was literally on the table to be PTS, when the the girl with him started crying. The shelter manager gave her one more day to find him a home, and long story short, after a 500+ mile round trip, I brought him home and have never regretted it for a minute.

This type of story makes my eyes well up with tears!! God love you for taking in Spot.

Me too! A mixture of sad and happy tears.

All of these stories are so touching. Thanks for sharing them. My two didn't come from a shelter but from couple who were moving and because of the travelling they were doing thought it best that they go to another home. I got them at the "nth" hour....the night before they moved. As of then, they had no home so I don't know what would have happened to them if I had not seen their ad a couple of days before. When I retire, I will be getting an adult dog from a shelter and maybe a kitty or two.

That's so awesome of you to have taken him in on that short of notice!

Of our pets, only one was not from a rescue of some sort. Lucas, our RB kittie, was rescued from a home where he was being abused by multiple other cats. Trillian was found in the woods as a kitten and would have been PTS by the people who found her if we had not adopted her. Pippen, AKA big and stupid, was not a rescue, but was a kitten from a barn. Lady, our neurotic mutt, was from a shelter.

Thank goodness for her tears and thank you for making that long trip. I remember when you brought Spot home.

My Ripley was in a kill shelter and I was lucky enough to spy him the day after he was brought in. I filled out the first application and someone else filled one out after me so I don't think he would have been PTS but I shudder to even think about it.

Payson came from animal control, however he had been tagged by S.A.F.E. (saving animals from euthanasia). Everyday they walk through and tag animals that they feel are adoptable, if they don't get adpoted through animal control then they foster them until a home is found.

Tibby came from a no kill/no cage shelter and Corkscrew was adopted from a shelter and then went though many homes, the last home was going to take him to the humane society so I decided to adpot him.

Both of mine came from rescues, both were picked up as strays and taken to kill shelters. Sierra was pulled by a rescue and I pulled Buddy myself from the kill shelter after a friend of mine saw him on Petfinder. While I was filling out his paper work a GSD rescue called the shelter asking if they could come and get him!
I will always rescue and or rescue.
I feel it makes them more special when they have a story!
