Aren't rescue animals great? It's like they KNOW they've been given a second chance. The white dog in my avatar is Moby. He's my Tennessee rescue. He was at a kill shelter, and was ready to be put down. I had actually been looking for a female yellow lab, but got my Moby-man instead. He turned out to be the most loyal dog ever. Oh, his brother in the picture is Dick. He came from our local shelter when he was just 7 weeks old.

I have decided that the next dog I adopt will be an old dog. They are so hard to place, and deserve to live out their last years in comfort and being loved. There's just something about an older dog's demeanor that is appealing. Most people want a puppy, and the old ones get ignored. They deserve better.
