If you have never taken in a rescued animal, you are missing out.onm a grand experience. A little over three years ago we lost our little schnauzer to complications of diabetes. We were so lost without him. He was 11 years old and had been with us since age 7 weeks. After many months of searching the internet, we located a pair of miniature schnauzers through the Rocky Mountain Miniature Schnauzer Rescue in Greeley, Colorado. It took almost three months to finally meet our new little ones and bring them home. They were so undernourished when we got them they were pitifully thin. Their fur was matted and missing in places. They had been fed only 1/8 cup of dog kibble per day while waiting for rescue and seemed to always be hungry. The experiences we have had over the past three years have kept us in stitches most of the time and in tears at other times. Their names are Oscar and Maggie and they are so much a part of our family now that they let us have the privilege of living with them.

Okay, your declares is worth to be noticed in public. As our humanbeings become stronger in the earth, the animals surffed a lot and most of them facing the danger of extinction also some already did not exesist. So we should take your advice and try to clare everyone to rescue the animals and respect them equally.

You are right. I am a great rescuer; have even picked up puppies that looked lost on the road and found homes for them. One of them went from my home state of Arkansas to Massachusetts and the family who has him are totally in love with him. I am a sucker for animals in need, it fills a spot in my heart like no other.
