Thanks. I really love him alot! I don't know what I'd do with out him. I know he wasn't the kind of dog I wanted but now I don't want any other dog.

Isn't rescuing more rewarding than buying?

I'm sure he'll love you, and knowing you gave a pup a home when they were in danger of not having one is a reward all in itself.

Rescuing is very rewarding. My parents are planning on getting a kitten from my sister in laws Vet where they have a place in the work where they rescue the animals. We aren't sure about it but it is very rewarding helping them in need and all when i go there and help with my sister-in-law.

That's good that you are already close to your Ozzy!

Nothing like a rescue dog, they give you so much unconditional love back and love you no matter what kind of day you are having... They even have Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in Pet finder too wish they had some near me (South Carolina) as id so like to have another one.... They are the sweetest most loving dogs one could ever wish to own... However, I am a lover of all animals well all but snakes & spiders those I can do without....

It's sad though to see so many dogs & cats in Pet finder though looking for homes I frequent the place many times a week sometimes daily just to see what they have new... Having a fur baby is by no means a cheap thing I could not begin to count the thousands of dollars I spent on my last one that I just lost to the Rainbow Bridge.... She was worth every penny though and then some & id do it all again tomorrow if I had too because she was such a sweetheart.... Some people however think just buying dog food and giving love is all a dog needs... Hmmmmm I can tell them a different story as it involves so much more than that so having a pet is not a cheap thing.... Not that any of you need to know this but some pet novices perhaps do... Vet bills & proper animal care can sure add up in the long run so make sure you can take care of all their needs before you consider have a fur baby....

Firstly, if you get a dog it's like deciding to have a child and all of the responsibilities that goes along with it. Their medical care is expensive, they require discipline, schedules and all of the same things that children need. Just be sure you are committed to such a long term relationship before you make the big step. Please check with your local shelter and rescue groups and you'll be very surprised about what they have to offer. A lot of these dogs have already been crate trained and on their way to being obedient dogs. Good luck to you and I hope your years with your new fur child will be long and happy!! Both of my Labs are rescues and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world because they have added so much to my life!

Thanks everyone. I'm glad I didn't buy one. Now I realize that there are so many animals out there that need help. Ones that are for sale already have a home. No offense to anyone, but some people just care about money. It also breaks my heart to see people just leave their animals on the street, abuse them, and neglect them.
