Rescue Pets - a wonderful, loving addition

[Phteven]

Nawww.

We got our cat from the RSPCA and our dog came from the pound. They are both wonderful pets.
The pounds and rescue organisations of Australia are bursting at the seams with wonderful animals who can't find a home, through no fault of their own. Even if you want a certain breed if you are prepared to be patient you will probably be able to get a purebred.

Call me a freak, but I don't like puppies and kittens, so rescue is perfect for me because I can get a pre-loved animal who won't put me through all the crazy baby animal hi-jinks.

Oh that's a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.

how lovely, that you have given what sounds like a wonderful dog a second chance - well done.
Pet rescue is a great site, and supports some wonderful rescue organisations that aren't hell bent on profit and do it for the animals.
I am involved in breed specific rescue of my own breed, and it never ceases to amaze me how quickly and easily they will adapt and give love to someone willing to give them a chance, no matter how they've been treated in the past.

Thats beautiful, our big girl Cassie (border collie x kelpie) is a dog rescued from someone who had her in a tiny little unit yard only big enough for 1 chair & a small table, the owner left her for a week with a friend supposedly bringing her food, the friend didn't though and she was a mess
She is an amazing dog and at the start was very strange with men but now she never has an issue, is a wonderful part of our family and is so protective of our girls.

I agree, there are so many loving pets out there to be homed... give them a second chance

That's wonderful to hear he's settling in well! His personality will really start to shine as he becomes even more comfortable and confident with his new family

We have always had pound/rescue dogs since I was a child, and that carries through to now. I'm a huge foster failure though - my last foster is, well, ummm still here almost a year after he arrived DH has banned me from fostering any more animals!

Maybe we should start a Pet Parade thread, but here's some photos of our furbaby:
