You gotta stop. Between these pics and that HORRIBLE story about the puppies who were mutilated and thrown away (at Helen Woodward) I feel that it’s about time I started filling the house up again with animals. It’s been too long.

Hi. Firstly I give you a standing ovation for this post. I honestly wish more people had your passion and compassion towards animals. Not only does a rescue dog get a second chance, it gives you unconditional love. We have two rescue cats that make our house a home. Drive us crazy, but we would not want it any other way. Just looking at those pictures make me sad, but I believe that your post will enlighten many and that these dogs will soon find a home. I am going to use this post as a link on my new post. Ivan

Good luck to all your little buddy’s. I can’t understand why there are so many little dogs looking for homes, they’re the first ones to get adopted here. Our shelter actually had to stop admitting surrendered pets a couple of weeks ago for the first time ever. They were overflowing. Thanks for posting these sweet souls.

For every picture you see, there are four or five more dogs needing homes. Yes, puppies go quickly, so all that means is that there are lots of puppies needing homes.

What a wonderful post! We just adopted a dog from our local PAWS Humane Society and he’s a little light in our life. I’m a big believer that rescuing is the only way to go. Great photos, too!

Hi Russel,
Whenever I see those pictures, I want to rush there and adopt. But with our two dogs and 7 cats we are at the limit of our capacity – unfortunately. I hope, though, that your efforts will help many of those poor doggies to find new homes. Will keep my fingers crossed.
Best regards from southern Texas,
Pit
P.S.: We’ll be needing the services of on of your Texan colleagues. As we’re in the process of buying a new home in Fredericksburg [http://pitstexasexpatblog.wordpress.com/2013/08/31/fredericksburg-here-we-come/], we need to have that plave inspected.

If you want to give a good home to a dog in need of rescuing check this site out for the most adorable doggies in the world. There are five I want at the top of the list but I’m not able to walk one at the moment. Physical reasons but if I could one of them would definitely join our ever growing animal companion family.
