Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

I couldn't resist posting, what a great thread!

Here's Marie, she came from Camp Wolfgang, Ennis, TX. Such a sweet pretty girl! How could anyone not want her?

And here's my other rescue Boley who came from our local shelter with just hours to live.

 

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

All great pictures, c'mon guys, I know there are a lot more shelter dogs on this board. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/18_thumb.gif

 

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

Here are my 3 girls - Black lab (purebred or high mix?) is Libby. We got her last summer from Arkansas. She has a bum front leg due to being shot and hit with 'blunt force trauma' as a puppy. She then lived in the city pound, then humane society for over 9 months. She was only 1.5yo when we adopted her. Lots of socialization, and she is coming along great!
Middle girl is human child, Zoe /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/01_smile.gif
Chocolate lab mix is Halle. Got as a puppy from a small rescue at 6 weeks old (way too young- what a biter she was as a puppy!). She is a very confident, social dog.

We love all 3 of our girls! I would love a GSD, or mix, at some point (hence I hang out here. LOL)

Hallie looks like a Lab/GSD mix (just from looking at her face and huge ears!!!!)

Thank you! We know Halles mom was a black lab/mix - the rescue saw her when they picked up the litter at 4 weeks old because the people didn't want to deal with the pups anymore /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/08_rolleyes.gif We think dad must have had GSD or Husky in him due to the ears and her height. She is about 64#, tall and thinly built. She doesn't have the GSD back legs at all though. Who knows. We get people all the time wanting to know what she is, I will say 'Mutt that we rescued' and it is like they get offended because mutts can't be 'pretty' or something /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/08_rolleyes.gif

 

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

Very beautiful girls!(specially the middle one!) Hallie looks awesome! So unique!

 

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

OK, its our turn!

<font color="red"> This is my precious baby girl, Gretchen. </font>

She was rescued by Virginia GSD rescue and fostered by Carolina, GSDBESTK9. She ended up in a Wash. D.C. shelter at 7 months of age AFTER her SECOND owners give her up because they couldn't handle her. I adopted her in October of 2004.

<font color="purple"> She certainly was a handful, still is, BUT she’s the light of my life!!!! </font>

Gretchen will be 2 y/o in March. She has her CGC title and is training for her CD. She has also done Agility and is currently learning Tracking. I also hope to get her involved in Schutzhund. I have to keep her little mind occupied at all times; otherwise she’ll drive me nuts!!!!

This is Gretchen at Carolina's - I look at these pictures at just can't get over how cute she was!

<font color="orange"> And this is Gretchen now! </font>

Practicing Obedience

Tracking

Being a hero and giving blood

LOVE YOU BABY!!!!!!!

 

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

Gretchen is just gorgeous! That is so awesome that she was a blood donor.

 

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

Thanks Sherry!

I love to see all these "throw-away" dogs do great things!!!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/18_thumb.gif

 

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

OK, I might be a little emotional today, but that blood donor pic made me choke up inside! What a beautiful "throw away". That made my day!

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

Beautiful Baby!!!!

 

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

My Blossom was dropped off at the shelter by her back-yard-breeder after having sold all her siblings. She was only 10 weeks old. She came down with sarcoptic mange just 2 weeks after coming home, here she is on her first day home:

Then at 10 months old she had to have hip surgery due to having severe hip dysplasia in both hips /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/02_frown.gif

She is now enjoying life to its fullest!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/05_biggrin.gif

 

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

I'm sooo glad she found you! The people who dropped her off should be shot, but it was probably the best thing to happen to her.

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

This is Zeke. We got him from a shelter in Southern Illinois and found him on this board! He had 2-3 days or he would've been pts. He is such a sweetheart. Great with kids and just loves to be touched. He's a happy guy who loves to play and cuddle.

With his buddy Cory

Cuddles with daddy
I really need new pics of him these are pretty old. He's been with us 1 1/2 years now.

 

Re: Shelter dogs - post yours

Here's Quinn, rescued one year ago by Sally (my neighbor). He was just hours from being pts. He is 7-8 years old.

And Maggie helping son with his homework. They are quite bonded. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/03_wink.gif We rescued her from a shelter last September. She is about 2 years old.

Dorie is not a rescue, but I can't leave her out! She is 6 years old.

All these pups dearly adored by Judie and family. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/24_hello.gif
