We are dog lovers!

[Mafesto]

It's quite obvious from past threads that many (likely most) snowmobilers are also dog lovers.

I also love dogs. The dogs we have had have been considered family members.

I would like to ask each and every one of you to strongly consider adopting your next pet from an animal shelter.

I understand that there are many reputable good breeders out there, but when you adopt from a shelter or from an owner who can no longer take care the pet, you are truly giving this pet another chance at life.
That is a feeling that is indescribable.

In short, please, please consider saving an animal from a shelter.
If you cannot, then please donate to a shelter to help them continue the good work they do.

Thanks!

I agree, I've seen a lot of dogs in shelters whose owners were elderly people whom have past away and the dogs end up in shelters. I hope everyone considers adoption.

Donations are great to, a lot of rescue shelters are non profit, volunteer and struggling to stay open.

Pound mutts are my favorite! I wouldnt have it any other way!

ban the puppy mills

Totally agree....we just adopted our sheppard/collie pup from a (no kill) shelter a few months ago and wouldn't have it any other way. To go "buy" a dog when there are so many great ones who could use a good home is the sh1ts IMO.

When you learn the nature of a dog it becomes much easier to hate humans

My folks have saved their last two bassets from being put down. They've been the two best dogs they've had.

 

[rockdog2112]

All five of mine are shelter/rescue dogs. So were the three before them. Best dogs in the world.

It's like the dog understands that you truly gave it a 2nd chance.
I know how out there that sounds, but I believe it.

 

[trikerider]

Really like tri-color collies and shelties but when ever my mother or mother in law need a new pup we always go to the shelter. Never had any trouble with them.

We have wind farms.

But they will give their whole heart trying!

Nice looking pal there, I understand why your heart still aches.

This is Rudy. Rescued from a kill shelter in Emporia Kansas. My and my buddy flew his single engine Cessna down in January of 06. He has a shattered hip and a pellet slug in him. $1500 later, he still has the slug but his little hip is good to go. Rat terrier Jack Russell mix. He was on death row. A few days from his final one. He definitely knows. Stuck to me like glue.

I pushed his lips up on his teeth and got this shot. Poor dog.

 

[rockdog2112]

Yay Yay is our Fox Terrier. He came from the pound here at about 12 weeks old. He's about 7 now.

Barney was the red Aussy below him. We rescued him from the back yard of a house where the people moved and left him. Scumbags. He had been there a week with no food and water. I had him for 12 years. Best dog ever. Also stuck to me like glue. They know. Yay walked around the house for months looking for Barney after he died. We wimpered and cried and walked up and down the hallways. Broke our heart. They were pals.

 

[rockdog2112]

Aspen came after Barney. Another pound dog. She was 7 years old and her owners decided they didn't want an "old" dog so they dropped her off. More scumbags. She is 11 now and doing great we love her and she'll die with us. Yay Yay loves her too.

 

[rockdog2112]

This is Tuff Stuff. My wife found him walking down our dirt road heading to the highway. He never left. That will be 11 years this May. No matter how many days I spend with this dog, it won't be enough. He's in trouble here for making a trip to the litter box.

Boat rides rock!

 

[rockdog2112]

The Dork Twins. Yay and Rudy.

 

[rockdog2112]

Pile O' dogs.

That's our little Rat Terrier laying on Tuff. Her name is Her Majesty Princess Little Bitty Boo Boo. ( I know). Another pound dog. She's 11 or 12.
