This is Hannah. We got her from a rescue almost 2years ago. I think people gave her up because they couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. When we got her, her ears were nearly unsalvageable and she would chew on her paws constantly. My friend is an animal dermotologist and put her on a very strict diet. She has improved tremendously and is a wonderful dog. She comes to work with me every day, too.
We have a cat too, that I rescued from the street when he was only a couple weeks old. Only thing I can say about the cat is I wish he was about 15yrs older when I found him.
This is Bertha- she was wacked by a bush hog (hence the flat shell) and is retired into a 12'x12' habitat I built for her
This is Bozo, he was left to die with 35 other cats in a house down the street. He was the only one to survive and at adult size, weighed less than 2 lbs. My youngest nursed him back to health, it is still a miracle to me that he is alive now.
My Stormy - Staffordshire Bull Terrier - she will be 13 yrs. old this month. In her prime there wasn't a Musk rat, or any vermon, that could escape her.
