    I had a vet ofc call me to evaluate a dog deemed vicious & the owner requested she be put down. I arrived to a dog who was continually muzzle & sedated due to her "threatening manner". (Per her owner). She was overly timid but I quickly caught on to her fear of any item in my hand (?very telling) & any loud noise. I weaned her off all the sedatives, removed her muzzle & slowly showed her what caused certain sounds (car doors, dropped items, etc). It has taken almost a yr but she is sweet & loves it when anyone speaks to her. I was supposed to keep her for a 2 wk eval. She has now been with me 6 yrs :)

      Pull up in the driveway they go absolutely crazy before I can get out of my truck their already jumping in my truck and I just love every minute of their happiness I rotate them so they go on trips with me and lol don’t tell the wife I said this but they are so much better company then she is lol jk but like I said the only people that your animals rely upon to so them love comfort and give them love is you without us they have no one so damn it if you are going to get a dog or a cat it doesn’t matter what you decide to get you have better to take on that responsibility because when you get the animal that you want and your sorry azz decides that you don’t want him or her anymore and you replace them to a new home or a shelter you are just destroying their hearts and their confidence to live so if you are that lowlife piece of 💩 that only thinks of yourself please don’t go and get a dog cat bird snake fish man whatever it is that has a heart please don’t get it if you don’t love yourself

As long as the dog has the required immuno therapy, vaccines that the state pro claims and you have paid for the adoption I don’t see there being any problem with it. We live in Canada and we have rescued dogs from the USA. Just make sure you have your visa and all of your identification and it’s probably best to drive down to get the dog. Don’t want to put them on a airplane because they can freeze or they can get dehydrated and die very easily.. there is a new airline that only transports dogs with their owners.

    Hi Rocky. In 2002 I adopted a dog off the street in rural Ethiopia. He was in bad shape with a fractured pelvis and leg. He was severely malnourished and tick/flea infested. I brought him back to North America with me (Canada). Our first weeks together were challenging as he wasn't accustomed to being inside, but he happily slept on the bed beside me. With love and care he turned from a scraggly dog into a beautiful pup, whose face you can see by my name. I had him for 13 wonderful years. I encourage anyone to rescue a dog. The love you receive in return will totally enrich your life.

    My current rescue dog, when surrendered to his foster, had this label put on him by his previous owner. He was a puppy that she kept all day in a crate in a shed, making the congenital deformity of his front legs worse. When I talked to his foster lady who took him in, she said he was a sweetie, and she took him over to her neighbors to test him with kids: he passed with flying colors. We have had him for a little more than 12 years now, and he's the most calm and sweet Scottie I've owned (out of four). I'm so glad his first owner did not turn him into the shelter or to animal control with this story about him being aggressive (she even said she thought he should be euthanized)--that might have been the end for him. Here's wishing Felix the most loving, doting family--he deserves it.

    Rescue dogs and cats and really any animal are the best kind of companion to have.. I've almost always been surrounded by animals and lived on many farms. I'm in my early 40's and I hope to continue rescuing for the rest of my life. My Shadowcat (the cat I rescued almost 8 years ago, after he had been hurt and abandoned) is hiding inside, on a pillow in a comfy box , on my bed. The freezing winds and sleety rain showers have kept us inside and made me light my wood fire and snuggle in. I plan to hibernate as often as possible for the rest of winter.
