I'll start with one of my favorite rescue stories that is near and dear to my heart.

Tyson-

My dad and I drove by a house with a puppy in the yard. As I sat there and complained about someone leaving their puppy unattended outside I didn't know the half of it. Over about 4 months my dad and I watched this puppy grow up with a table broken in half with a blue tarp covering it as shelter and rarely any sign of food or water. always skinny. no attention. no toys. alone. My dad and I talked for a long time before deciding to take the dog. We never found the chance to get him, but he practicly came to us when he broke from his chain one day. ran out in front of our car. dad told me to grab him. we took him home and fed him. i quickly posted pics of the boxer beauty on PetTalk. within a few hours of posting pics i got an e-mail from Corinna. It was love at first sight. Corinna, Tim and their daughter drove all the way from Montana to adopt their dirty, skinny, untrained puppy. After seeing Tyson turn into a compleatly different dog since he's been with his new family. Even though Corinna isn't with us any longer i still picture the love and excitment the first time she laid eyes on Tyson.
Rest In Peace Corinna.



Trudy-

I had just brought home my new siberian husky puppy, Houston. We were going for a walk with my brother. As we were walking by the road Houston saw something. As i turned around i saw a skinny little black and tan puppy with scars on her back. i called dad on my cellphone and told him i was bringing home a rescue. Trudy was a great dog! i got quite attached to her. She lived with us for over two months before the perfect family came along. Trudy now lives in a Chicago suburb with 2 rowdy boys and another dog friend.



Maggie-

I got a call one day from a rescue i fostered dogs for. We were to foster a female english setter until a permanent home could be found. This poor dog had lived her short little life in an abusive home. Fortinatly after only a couple weeks with me Maggie was adopted into a permanent loving home. She literally lives in a mansion!


Cornfield-

I was at a local carnival when i was offered a small puppy. i promptly said no thanks knowing i couldn't take her. i was told that if i didn't take her the people were going to leave her in a cornfield across the street. i couldn't bare to even think of that happening so of course i took her. Now the little throwaway puppy is living in Indianapolis.
