Rescuing a Dog - Page 2

Hate to see dogs that are mistreated, just don't understand how someone could do that. Is an awesome thing what you are doing, hope it all goes well!

Congrats on going the adoption route! Many deserving dogs out there for loving owners. I thought that I wanted a pharaoh hound puppy really bad, but once I spent time with adult greyhounds, I was hooked. I lobby almost daily for more, but for now just the one.

He looks pretty mellow and attentive, a great combination. I hope this one works out, but if not, I hope there is another good candidate on the horizon.

You are good people Jeff.It's that simple

Good on ya brother. He looks beautiful, and the eyes... love the blue.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog find a good home....

<fingers crossed>

We have been hoping that they will call all day but nothing yet! Thanks for all the positive replies folks!!

He looks great Jeff. We adopted a puppy that was rescued from New Orleans - Katrina victim - almost 3 years ago. Her foster home was not far from you (I'm from that area of the world). I'm sure this will work out for you but I can pass you information of the group we used if you need it.

That's awesome. Rescuing dogs is so fulfilling.
We saved a year-old German Shepherd from the SPCA a few years ago. He had been treated badly -- he still cowers if someone picks up a stick -- but he is the most gentle dog I've ever had. He's still got some social issues -- hates other dogs (but loves people) -- but I think he really knows how much better his life is now.

Hope all works out! Adopting rescue dogs is much better than encouraging puppy mills. Both my dogs are rescue and I wouldn't trade them in for anything

Beautiful thing you're doing there. I just melted when I saw the picture of that dog. I really hope this works out for you all.

Your good people to rescue a dog. I think that it's the most fulfilling thing in the world to give a dog a second chance. I hope everything works out in your favor. We have 2 Pomeranian's that we got from a rescue, the best dogs in the world IMO. Nothing like a good smoking buddy.

Did you get the call yet?

RHNewfie · 12-19-2008, 06:47 AM

No calls yet, maybe today. We do know for sure that they will call because the informed us at the same time they informed us that we had passed the written portion. Although I do know that the do not like to finalize adoptions over Christmas which is understandable.
