Oh Peggy...I have thought about it so many times!!!! I would LOVE to be a rescue. I just never have because of where I live...well and $$...we live in the mountains and our house is basically a little cabin 1465 sq feet. Our back yard, while fine for Caleb our big guy...is a huge slope...not very little dog friendly. My 5 littles don't touch "dirt" unless we are off on walks or at the parks...they are in my house and have access to the deck for potty time if weather permitts. And...my neighbors LOVE me and put up with my "over-the-limit...but I might really be pushing it to have much more!! There is only so much homemade ww bread I can make as peace-offerings LOL.
My dream is to move when Mark retires in 3 years...and actually have a rescue!!! The only issue I see is becoming a hoarder!!!! LOL!!! I would want to keep them forever in my forever home and meet all their needs!!!

I have been told they are slated to be PTS Thurs AM, so arrangements must be made by Wed. This shelter is very rescue friendly, which means that if you call and are out of state they will help to give you rescue names that can help you to pull them out. I personally can't believe that they put a 4 month old puppy on the list! Others have told me that they are so jammed packed that they are forced to work strictly according to the dates that the dogs were brought in, in order to be fair to all the dogs. :(( http://ricbrowde.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/8-November1.pdf ♥ Peggy & The Girls ♥ GOD BLESS YOU Deanna! Who says you have to tell them how many dogs you have? If you live within their zipcode limits you should be able to adopt her. If you are not within thier zipcode limits they may say you can only adopt through a local rescue, in which case they would then do a house inspection. You can ask them for the local rescue names and phone #s. Deanna, have you ever thought of setting your self up as a rescue? Or even a foster mom through another rescue? Baldwin puts down Chi's every week because they are constantly overloaded with them. Even if you only took in one or two at a time, what a blessing to know that you are saving some babies! Most rescues pay for all the vetting, you just feed and train them for a new home. Hugs, ♥ Peggy & The Girls ♥
