Rescue is the way to go when you are thinking about having a dog. And I speak from experience. There are so many lovely, sweet, unwanted dogs in compounds, rescues etc. that want, need, deserve a forever family. And they are so, so grateful. Both my husband and I have had dogs in the past that we bought (hate that word in connection to animals) the regular way, as a puppy. This time around we were in the process of buying a beautiful Jack Russel puppy from a breeder when I happened upon a website of stray dogs in Spain, a Dutch man rescued them over there, socialized them until they were ready for adoption. We changed our mind that evening and adopted a beagle/basset mix of 10 months old, had him flown (one of our national airlines sponsors this rescue and flies them over for free) to our country (The Netherlands) and Whopper (the name we gave him) became a member of our family. We could not be happier. He is the kindest, sweetest, most grateful dog ever. So happy with every meal, every toy, every walk and a friend to all people and dogs. He gets petted and talked to by so many people in the street or when we sit at terrace downtown having lunch or coffee, he just seems to ooze 'love me' 'love me' and makes people smile when they make eyecontact with him and he starts wagging his tail. #adoptdontshop #rescueisthenewblack and all that. Really.

Our sweet Bella was a chi. She passed away in summer last year and it was so hard. It took me a bit to feel like I was ready for another little furball to love. But we all feel like she picked Sweet Pea because it was such a by chance to find her when we did. And as far as fall weather- 80 here today 🙂 but I love it. Thanks so much for stopping by and your sweet comment Kathleen. xo

Perfect models for your charming home. Yes, how can you not smile and play with Sebastian with his eyes looking at you with love and of course hope! He looks like my chihuahua, we thought Bella ( our rescue ) was part Doxie. Sweet Pea needs a diamond collar, she looks like a little princess:). I love this post, it makes my heart happy that people rescue animals, to give them a loving home.
Hoping the weather in Northern California is feeling like Fall, Kathleen in Az

They do bring so much joy and love to us. I have 2 rescued dogs also and they are the very best and as long as I am alive they will have a forever home.

Unfortunately Waldo is on a special diet for his liver, so I have to purchase Hills Prescription Dog food.

Enjoy your sweet dogs.

Mary

Hopefully his back improves. I found doing water therapy for my doxie really helped him- I put him a bathtub 3x a day with water half way up and helped him walk back and forth and then let him soak in it while I massaged his back legs with sweet almond oil. He was paralyzed and within six months with this and Prednisone he was up and walking and has never looked back since! 🙂 Best wishes!

We have adopted two special needs dachshunds and they have repaid us in kind many, many times over.
