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!
Clearly she is just waiting for the right moment to chew off your face. Notice the adorable ears and big puppy dog eyes...a sure sign that she is about to attack
She's beautiful. Thank you for rescuing her and giving her a forever home!0 -
My profile photo is my sheppard rotti mix, Liebherr. He is 8 months old and is from a local rescue organization. He is the friendliest dog ever. Just a bundle of energy and love. He makes me a better person and shows me how to take joy in the small things in life.
Previously we had a cat who we adopted from a friend as a kitten before the kittens were taken to the local humane society. He was an awesome cat with such a fun personaliy. I miss him everyday.0 -
My boy is a rescue! So is my sister's kitty who I rescued myself from behind our apartment at the time.

this a pic of our newest rescue, Smokey...
We have 2 dogs and 6 (yes, 6) cats. The dogs and 3 cats are rescues, the other 3 cats are strays that we have taken in over the years. I am a sucker for a stray animals, so, I feed them. If I am going to feed it, I name it. If I name it, I need to take to vet to get fixed and rabies shot. If I spend $200+ on animal to make sure it is healthy to re-release, I keep it :laugh: I even moved 2 stray cats that were living under my deck to our new house, I didn't want to leave them behind at the mercy of the new owners. One cat unfortunately had cancer, but the other is now comfortable on my couch.0 -
This is Shadow and he is a rescue and I also have Saydee also rescue. I rescue dogs that are chained to trees and nurse dogs back to health that have been dumped. I have overwhelming compassion for dogs that have be abandoned. It is emotionally draining and financially draining but i wouldn't have it any other way...except maybe add one winning lottery ticket!!!!!!!0

I have a german shepherd mix that I rescued from the animal shelter 8 years ago...he's on my ticker...he's my baby for sure! 0

This is Titus, a rescue dog who spent 7 months in the shelter before we adopted. I have been using one of his photos (see my profile for others) for my avatar since he and I were struck by a car. It was a deliberate attack by some some kid who, apparently, thought I was somebody else. Anyway, Titus got hurt worse than I did... he had a compound, transverse fracture of the right fore leg. He underwent orthopaedic surgery to repair the fracture and is healing, slowly, and is now able to walk on the leg, albeit with a limp.
That is appalling! I'm so sorry to hear about the attack on you and Titus. How in the world does anyone ever feel justified committing an act like that?!0 -
All of my pets are (and have always been) rescues in some for or another... Currently, I live with: Jack the Pumpkin Cat (who was living in a drug den and eating spaghetti when I took him); Luna (a farm kitten who was due to be drowned, along with her twin sister); and Nikko (who we got from our local Humane Society).
Here is a picture of Nikko (all dressed up for Halloween last year!):

And here is my boy, Jack:

I don't really have any pics of Luna; she's super-shy.0 -
These two are Chunk and Sammy (brothers) that I rescued when they were two weeks old in a factory I was working in. The mother had a litter when the plant was on a shutdown, she couldn't come back when the plant started running 24/7. I estimated the bd 3/18/07. I rescued a third one (Callie) when when she turned up on my doorstep October of '09 weighing 6 lbs and about 8/9 months. I couldn't turn her away. I chose her Birthday as 2/11 to share mine.0

Our cat Marlie was adopted from the SPCA almost 3 years ago.
This morning while I was walking I cam across a young kitten who had been struck by a car and was lying on the street still alive. I didn't want to move it because it was injured but I couldn't just leave it on the street so I took it home with me and brought it to our vet. They said her back leg was broken and she had a lot of cranial damage (I figured as much since she was bleeding out of the mouth and nose and her eye was wonky) so they had to euthanize her.
This poor little thing was only about 6 months old. 0 -

These two, Molly (Beagle/Basset mix), and Zoe (lab/beagle/char pei/??? mix) were both rescues. Since DH and I don't have kids, these two ARE my girls. Words can't express how much they've enriched my life. They were part of the reason I decided three years ago to start taking care of my health. They deserved a better life and they weren't getting it if I couldn't get my *kitten* off the couch!0 -

yes clearly, she looks like a ferocious beast to me.
she could be a calender pup!0 -
I have two rescue dogs and two rescue cats. This is Sam - when he was a few weeks old, I heard some whimpering while at my desk at work and saw him outside my office window.
Cutest puppy I've ever seen. Wish I could upload pics from when he first came home, would melt your hearts, but I'm at work. He is half beagle - a guy who breeds them near my old job dumped a whole litter since they were an 'oops' and not pureblood. My vet says the other half is likely a lab or lab/mix. Happy ending: 4 puppies were eventually found and all were adopted by employees working in that office park. 0 -

<~~~~Coco she is a toy poodle that I rescued. She was beaten and because of those beatings she had seizures
( The vet and I tried every medication possible to help and unfortunately it was a Grand Mal seizure that took her life. I was devastated. I only had her for 2 years and she was only approximately 4 years old. I do have another dog, but she's not a rescue. I was scared to death to take that chance with rescuing again.
This is so sad. I want to cry. Coco was a beautiful little pup, why or how on earth could someone do something like that. Just plain demonic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
<--This is Freddy. My mom found him in their dog house that was in the garage (their dog had passed about a year before, who was also a rescue), during a very hot August day. He was down to about 6 lbs or so, covered in fleas and all of his hair was matted or missing in places. She gave him food and water, brought him inside and took him to the vet. It was obvious he was previously an indoor cat, as he never wanted back outside, was litter trained, fixed and definitely not feral. We think he had been abused and dumped by someone, by how he acted with loud noises and sudden movements. My mom contacted the humane society in town, gave a description in case anyone was looking for him, but no one came forward.
He's got this tiny little voice in that big body, and is really kind of a pansy. But, when he gets mad, he gets mad! At one point, he took a swing at my mom and knocked her glasses off her face. The next day she caught part of Nightmare on Elm Street, and dubbed my cat Freddy. Luckily, he rarely lives up to the name now.
When I saw him for the first time, he was this gangly alien-faced scruffy cat. But, as soon as he crawled up on my chest, purred and drooled, he was mine. I've had him almost 5 years now, and he is the sweetest cat ever.
Love seeing all of the happy rescued furbaby pics!0 -
OOkay, think this should work, this is Aston my itty, bitty pitty She was abandoned in an apartment when the woman who had her moved out. My cat Bing was also with her, when I went in they had been eating trash and were forced to potty in the house. They are both home now and are really amazing. Aston is one of the most wonderful dogs I have met.

I have no idea. She was the best little dog you could ask for. All I do know is the guy who did it to her came up on charges of Animal Cruelty and they let him go with a fine, and to sign a contract that he were never ever to own another animal again. Pfft I think he got off to easy, just my opinion. I lost her in January of this year and I am still having a hard time with it.0 -
Mine are bothe rescues too - the corgi/spaniel mix is my avatar and the beagle is a baby0

I've had to take 5 animals to the Animal Anti-Cruelty League in 8 days because people keep abandoning them on our property at work! A pitbull (such a sweetie), a boxer mix, 2 mutts and a pregnant calico cat with green eyes.
Wish I could keep them all but my landlord says the cat I adopted from Animal Anti-Cruelty last year is all I can have. :brokenheart:
At least I know they're safe there & that they'll be taken care of til they're adopted. No-kill shelters for the win!0 -
I had to chase a dog down on the highway. Cops had to come to close off the road.0
-

My animals are all rescues.
I even have a dog we rescued THRICE!!

I just changed my profile pic to my pup yesterday! Oscar was a rescue --- abandoned in a house by himself when the owners moved - and still just a puppy no more than 6 mo old. As a result, I have had to super spoil him and he's insufferable, but I love love love me some Oscar-dog... lol 0

<--- my boo boo lilly (lab boxer pit mix) and my 2 rats (bangkk and sri lanka) are all rescues. i love when people rescue animals, i always think that it is really them that are saving us :]0
-
yep we have two rescues and donate also0

Mine was born in a no-kill shelter and we adopted her at 4 months old. She had been in her cage most of her life (I think she was fostered out for a little bit), so the first thing she did when we got her home was run up and down the hallway for a solid 30 minutes. It made me sad and happy.0
