10 Reasons Why Adopting A Rescue Dog Is Awesome

2. Rescue dogs can make incredible transformations when they are adopted into loving homes.

3. Most rescue dogs are relinquished for reasons that have nothing to do with behavioral problems, and they are generally quite loving and gentle.

4. When you rescue a canine, you'll never want for cuddles.

5. If you adopt a dog, you'll be giving him the gift of new adventures and exploration.

6. Your other animals might actually be grateful to have a new pal, as shelter dogs often get quite a bit of socialization before they're adopted.

7. Every dog has an amazing personality all his own.

8. Dogs at shelters come in all shapes and sizes!

9. Choosing rescue dogs means that you won't be supporting inhumane puppy mills.

10. When you adopt a rescue dog, you've got a best friend for life.

I initially thought about Hot Dogs and going over to the local Costco for the $1.50. :)

Speaking of hot dogs... I read a story about someones dachshund on a leash getting eaten by a gator when the owners weren't watching... gators have to eat as well. :)

here is one of thousand stories of hero dogs:

Benjamin Jorden and his wife thought they had found the perfect babysitter for their son. They went through several interviews, and finally settled on Alexis Khan. For five months, they left their baby Finn, and their dog Killian, in her care.

After a few months, Ben and his wife Hope noticed that their dog was starting to act aggressively toward Alexis. The normally mild-mannered pup even had to be restrained a few times when she came in the door. Sensing that something might be up, Ben and Hope placed a tape recorder under the couch while they were away and discovered something disturbing.

Not only was Alexis verbally abusive to Finn, she was also physically abusive. When the cops were involved, the babysitter received one to three years in jail for her crimes. Had the Jorden’s dog not been there to warn them, something much worse could have happened to their son!

Please, always listen to your instincts – and your dog!!
