Rescue Me!


Linda met 2 of her good friends for coffee today at Starbucks. The conversation turned to getting another dog. Mary suggested that Linda go to the local animal shelter, but Linda said no way! If she saw those poor dogs facing euthanasia, she would bring them all home. That is exactly what a women did in California when she went to the pound looking to replace her own doggy who went to dog heaven. Instead of bringing home one dog, she loaded 27 dogs into her pickup truck including 10 Chihuahua mixes, one pure bread Chihuahua, one Jack Russell, one poodle, 2 shepherd mixes, 2 mini pinchers and one Australian cattle dog. Neighbors called the police because of all the barking. The "law" came and told her 3 dogs per household was the limit. The women advertised online and found home for all but 4 of the dogs. I'm sure the Chihuahua's all went first. She is trying to find homes for the other 3 before her husband gets home from his business trip. I wonder which one she will keep? Snickers was a rescue dog. He was 6 months old when Linda rescued him. He was abused and took awhile to stop being scared of everything, but once he felt safe... he was the BEST dog in the world!
