    My profile pic is my dog named Shadow, I got him before his last owners took him to the pound so he's kind of a rescue dog. He was always keeping them awake so they needed to get rid of him and I took him on and have enjoyed every minute of having him.

    My profile pic is Lucy, my little pit bull. I sort of rescued her when her first owners (she was only 6wks old at the time) had to get rid of her because they were about to have a special needs baby come home, I dread to think of what her life may have been if they'd given her up to someone else!

    She'll be 6 on Monday!

    I also volunteer when I can to rescue pittie shelters, since there are so many of them and they suffer such a terrible rap!

    Love my rescue's. Avatar is Mo and he knows how hansome he is. I also have Lulah a super fluffy tuxedo.

    I would never "buy" an animal from a breeder or pet store. Shelters are the way to go.

    My dog has been my picture for a while but I LOVE to talk about him! His name is Odin and he's one. We got him from a shelter when he about 4 months old. They had the pregnant mom. She and all of the other puppies had already been adopted out so our little guy was the last one left. He's so funny and so freaking adorable. When he gets going whining he sounds like a goose honking, it's hilarious. He loves cuddes and LOVES kisses (which we're trying to break him of...but he's part lab so our friends say it's not going to happen.

    He's a lab mix but we don't know what with. His mom was a lab. He's short and stocky with a pit bull looking face but a curly chow tail so I go with lab/pit/chow.

    I'm planning to adopt a greyhound from the local greyhound rescue. They're former racing dogs that don't get raced anymore. My plan is to do that in the spring. We just moved so everything is kind of chaos right now.

    We have two former race dogs.... now couch potatoes. Retired greyhounds are the best!

    Sure thing! I used to volunteer at a cat shelter, but I don't have those pictures at hand right now. So, I'm using my sister's pup, Pita. My cat was a rescue, and I also have a picture of him to use for a spare profile picture.

    I love my rescued Pit Bull...Leiloo! She was thrown off an overpass into 6 lanes of traffic and had horrible demondex mange(my guess because she wouldn't fight).We have had her 4 years now. Bless her heart she had surgery 9 days ago for an ear hematoma and is hating wearing the "cone" and taking pills!!!


    Oh my dear! I will never understand how people can be so cruel, thank goodness Leiloo had an angel waiting for her!

    Yeah the cattle dog in her is pretty dominant...temperament wise too :laugh: She could be sent in to the dog shaming place everyday. She's even escaped a doggy daycare, climbed the fence, we found a new one. :noway:

    <~~~ My kitty, Brady! We rescued him off the streets back in August. He's FIV+, so I doubt he would have survived very long where he was. He's so sweet. :heart:

    I always wear my mutts as my pic! Wish there was a way to boycott Kelly Ripa, tho. Her insensitive comment about pits just reinforces that stigma. My baby pittie is the best dog EVER!
    That chapped my tush too, hearing about her on air comment. Bruised Not Broken (on Facebook) wanted to see if she'd be open to having them visit with a pittie or two, to try and change her mind. One can always hope!

    Here's my rescue pup, Charlie. We're his third (and last!) family. Somewhere along the way he was treated pretty badly, so he's a little neurotic in new situations. But he's clearly made himself comfortable--our bed is his favorite place to be, as you can probably tell.

    This is Tucker, he was found as a stray by a co-worker. He was a jerk of a puppy and the co-worker didn't want to keep him because he was mean to her dogs so I volunteered to foster him until the no-kill shelter had room for him. By the end of the weekend I had fallen in love with him, even with his bad manners and meanness. Five years later he is still a bit of a jerk and gets away with way more than he should, but he's come a long way and I couldn't love him anymore than I already do.

    mine is my 8 yr corgi mix we brought him home not 5 mins after he got to our humane society they said if we hadn't he would have been pts in the am he was almost bald with a severe flea allergy . He is an awesome dog we also have a shepherd who was abused (he my shadow) and just gave a friend a kitty that we found in a drain ditch in the pouring rain at about 3 weeks( mom left him and took all his siblings) because my kitty doesn't like others her mom was a prgo rescue we took in 14 yrs ago.

    I just rescued this pup... she was abandoned at only a couple weeks old with a parasite. The breeder basically threw her away! She is healthy now and a great little pup with my boys!


    SOOO precious. I LOVE pitties! :)

    I don't have any pictures... but my cat is a rescue of sorts. The family had 2 kittens left from a litter and they were about to take them to a shelter. So my friend and I went to look at them. The little black and white kitten walked right up to me, rubbed his face on my leg, then sat on my feet. Clearly he picked me. We've been together ever since. (My friend took the other kitten home, and we have play dates)

    <<<<<This is my Jupiter Kitty aka Juju. Hubster and I rescued her from the Humane Society. She was surrendered by her former owner because she finished college and didn't want to take her back home. This is sad but at the same time, a blessing to me. She is the best kitty ever. =^_^=

    My profile pic is Midnight. I'd like to say that I rescued him, but he actually demanded that I take him home. He stuck his little paws out and grabbed me and wouldn't let go. Now he and his brother are giant spoiled brats! I love them both so much:)

    Love this! I've been doing rescue for over 7 years. My latest Kitty and itty, bitty pitty were abandoned in an apartment. As soon as I figure out how to save pics on my kindle I'll get some up

    even though this has nothing to do with health ,its nice to know people care about animals.

    Nina,my american eskimo was not a rescue but she rescued me from my depression.

    Johnson ,our soon to be 1 yr old cat was rescued from the street at about 4 weeks,he was skinny and weak,now he is a cutie pie

    Absolutely!

    Here is my 6 year old rescued American Bulldog. We've fostered about 13 AmBulls, Dexter was a foster failure. If everyone could foster and adopt rescues, it would make such a big difference!

    She's always on my weight loss counter and my cover photo for facebook. We should all try to organize a day to do this :)


    Great idea by the way!

    Rufus is my Catahoula hound Pointer mix. He was abandoned by a roommate in college that thought it would be fun to get a puppy. He was a WalMart special. He found a place in my heart and became mine. Hes they best dog ever and best hiking buddy.
