MY RESCUE STORY!

When i was 7 we lost our yorkshire terrier in a terrible accident. about 5 months later we brought home our little george. he is a border collie cross jack russel, he was about 1 year old at the time. He was beaten by his owner, he was very thin and was afraid of pretty much everything. my dad could not even attach his lead to the collar he wore, as he would cower and wee himself. He was a sorry state back then, but has come on leaps and bounds in the past 15 years. he is still with us to this day and living with my mum. He has arthritis in his knees and its painful for him at times, he is going deaf and blind but he still enjoys the pleasures in life. he doesnt have many teeth now as they are falling out and he had a dental about 3 years ago and came through the anaesthetic really quick. my little sister feeds him up well, she gives him treats and sometimes if my mum is not watching her she will give him the whole packet! he also get chicken and small bits of bacon too, hes getting on now and my mum just want to give hime the last joys of life! bless his little heart!

I GOT IT WRONG, GEORGE IS 18YEARS OLD NOT 16 YEARS OLD!

thats a sad story but little george as had a good life with your mum he knows what love is now awwwwww

i know hes a little pimp now, with his chicken and treats!

aww bless him

have you ever rescued jacky? do you have any rescue stories you could post?

We were looking for a freind for suki a few months ago and went to see my husbands mum, she kkept complaining the dog at the back of her kept abrking all night and wasnt been taken in at night, she also said she wasnt sure it as being fed properly. so me and my husband decided to go and take a look, to our horror when we looked through the gate there was a large rottweiler chained to a fence with a bowl of food going mouldy just out of reach, the dog was going mad barking at us and a man came out of his house to ask us what we were doing looking into his house, we explained he couldnt leave the dog like that and to our surprise he unclipped to dog and handed me the lead and told me if i didnt like it i could have him, so i did. when we got him home i had to keep him seperate from suki as he was not castrated and suki was on heat, his fur was matted and his teeth and mouth stank, we took him the vet got him done and genrally cleaned him up, he is now the happies dog i have owned gets on fine with suki and his fur is lovely and soft, i couldnt risk letting him near the children at first but now he is very tolerant of my 2 and 5 year old going as far as to let them play with his ears. we have had him for 4 months now and im glad we found him when we did, we reported the man but nothing could be done as we now had the dog.

awww what a sad story, but with a brilliant happy ending, we need more people in the world like you lou!

ive got 5 rescues, two rotties and 3 mognrels. they are all nuts, had a few probs with all of them but thats what you get i suppose, not paying silly prices for a dog when you can get a rescue for peanuts!

depends what kind of circumstances you have though a rescue isnt for everyone, and when you but a pedigree its not just the dog your paying for, you get the pedigree a owners registration if it ever gets stolen and a good indication that the dog will have a good temprement.

we rescued george seventeen years ago and never looked back everyone who knows him loves him

i wouldnt change titch for the world sometimes i think he wouldnt be here if we had left him with his previouse owner and it really upsets me

its a good thing that you took titch on. my brother took on a german shepard about five years ago and he was badly treated he suffers with sevear arthritus and the vet says that its not looking good for the old fellow, vegas is with my brother and she has really settled in well.

my uncles dog doesnt reaaly like other dogs, but he met vegaas the other day and was fine with her, maybe because she is a bitch and a little puppy! but he laid with her and they got aalong very well for their first meeting!

Thats great its funny how the older dogs take puppys better than a fully grow dog , I surpose its the thing that they can let the pup know whos top dog

quite possible, its much easier to teach a puppy whos boss!

it wil be good for vegas to, puppys are ment to learn how to act around older dogs so they get doggie manners
