Went to the canine rescue last week and found this guy. He lets me know every day how happy he is to have a home. Don't know yet how he reacts to gunfire, but will soon.


But the house cat has him buffaloed

Steve,

Good looking dog. Tiny seems to be keeping him at bay.
My last 3 dogs have been rescues,also. Here is Xerxes, whom we rescued last September. Had been looking for a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog for 2 years and was buggered over twice on the purchase by breeders, so we went back to a rescue. He's a great dog.

Yeah, "appreciates a home" . . .

Ginger was a pregnant stray, adopted by a Coast Guard family who got transfered and had to give her up, then a home with a pack of dogs and she's not a "pack dog." Then a home where the owner would lock Ginger in the garage all day while she was at work.

Now she's a working ADA Service Dog for me. One-on-one relationship, she gets full-time attention, and gives it back. Red Heeler mix, I think some German Shepherd. Lots of energy, loyal, affectionate, smart as hell, funny too. Hell of a nose. Good around strangers, kids, cats, livestock, even deer.

Total "babe magnet" -- speaking of helping me out.



Unless you're workin' on a show dog, or some sort of field trials, adoption is the way to go.

Congrats and bless you for saving a friend. We rescued these girls too!

Good job! I'm glad you fellow AR folks are saving some of these fine dogs.

Good luck with your dog Steve.

Our Gus (on the stair) which also came from a shelter looks like he could be related to yours.

What a great thread! We are talking to Airedale Rescue to get an Airdale to replace Laddie. The house seems empty without him. The dog won't replace him entirely, just fill some of the space created by his absence.
Peter.
