I've lived in the same rural place for over 50 years and had countless dogs and cats show up. I never turned one away. In all these years, I've only paid for one dog, because my wife wanted a Golden Retriever. All the rest have been rescues. I never went to a shelter and picked one up, so for the purpose of this thread, post either pets you got from shelters or pets that picked you.
Here's Tindy. He showed up here about 4 years ago, and he's my best buddy. Here is Tindy with his cat, Kirby. Kirby also found us. |

My 14 year old boy wants a husky, so I'm going to check on a rescue for him this year.
Unless one shows up here!

This is me and my horse Skip. He was down to about 550 pounds when I got him. |

This is Shadow, some kind of herding dog mix. She had a fractured front leg, lacerated muzzle and abrasions on her belly. Unspayed, untrained but a lovely smart little girl dog. She looks and acts a lot better these days. Oh yeah, don't rescue a herding dog with a broken leg unless you are prepared for a rodeo. 3 new casts and $600 in additional vet bills before we were through. |

My wife fosters quite a few dogs, and has for years, from a rescue in Denver. We have some winners, and we've had some destructive pups, but they all have been adopted out.
That is her passion. |

How old is she/he? Thanks. It's hard to get a good photo that shows how good she looks, but she's quite striking in appearance. She is 5, but still full of puppy energy. Most people who first meet her think that she's 2. And man can she run, fastest thing I've seen on four legs.

ETA, The red rabies tag shown in the picture wound up in two pieces before the year was out. That's just how Buddy rolls.
