Currently we have 3 rescue dogs and one rescue cat. One dog we adopted and two just showed up at our house and waited us out until we gave into those big brown eyes. The cat, Ollie, was 7 years old when we adopted him and had little chance of a new home, but when we brought him home 3 years ago- he has not missed a morning coming and head butt/kissing us each and every morning. He has never scratched or hissed at us and never had an accident in the house. RESCUE PETS ARE THE BEST!!! They seem to have a sense of where they came from and appreciate this new home they have been given.
This winter please watch out for homeless pets and take the time to adopt them, feed them, or get them to a shelter. Most pets can not endure dropping temps. Sure dogs in the wild have dens and a pack to keep them warm, but domesticated dogs and dogs not in a pack setting, don't have that protection. Open your heart to them and you will realize that many times they save us, rather than the other way around.
