Reply Replypets just seem to find me. strays visit & decide to stay or friends give them to me. Two cats, one dog are in residence
Reply ReplyMy dogs (6) are rescues but did not come from a rescue. My cats are previous ferals or road rescues.
Reply ReplyI voted this way because my dogs DID NOT come from shelters nor did my cats. All of my cats were feral and I took them in. Fixed them and now care for and love them. My dogs came form other homes who were wanting to get rid of them, so... kind of a rescue. But I do believe that we should rescue!
Reply ReplyMy rough collie didn't come from a shelter but from a terminally ill person who needed to find a loving, forever-home for him. I've had 13-year-old Emmett for 11 years. I need him a whole lot more than he needs me!

My dog Ringo was a shelter dog. He's a German Shepherd/American Staffordshire Terrier mix, we got him when he was about 6 months old, he's now 14 years old. Can't remember life without our 90lb couch potato! We also currently have three cats, all rescues.
ReplyI currently have had my rescued pomchi pooch for 9 yrs, she is now 12 and it's true what they say....who rescued who?! lol
ReplyI don't have a pet now, but my last two GSD's were from a shelter.
Reply1 cat, 1 dog were brought from a shelter. All the rest (over 20 since childhood) were gotten free from others, rescued, or born from litters of our pregnant cats. 3 generations of one cat line and another pregnant rescue. We spay and neuter now that we can. And we spay and release local strays, now.
ReplyOur cat Gale came from a shelter, as did Kipling who we are still mourning. Our other two came from the litter of a family member's cat.
