All dogs deserve a second chance at a forever home

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” by Anatole France

My last 6 dogs were all rescues.

Five of them have passed away, but they all lived a very long life and died of old age.

They came from various shelters in two different states.

The last two were a bonded pair. A male and female, supposed to be Shih Tzus, but the male was so much bigger and heavier that I believe he is a Lhasa Apso.

I found them listed on Pet Finder, they were in a veterinary clinic. They were there because someone rescued them after seeing them being thrown from a car onto a busy highway.

They were both checked out, spayed and neutered, and then listed on Pet Finder with a clean bill of health.

The vets thought they were 2 or 3 years old. Still babies.

I believe in severe punishment for animal abusers. I have no tolerance for any animal abuse or child abuse. (But that’s another story for another day!)

These two sweet pups brought so much life and laughter to our home. They were always waiting at the door…
