Where did you get your dog?

We have 3 dogs. Carmen, a lab/saint bernard mix my husband found, Trixie a wennie/chihuahua mix we got from a friend, and Toby a cocker spaniel we bought. We also have two cats the first one Keddar I found in the alley behind my gma's house and the other is one of her kittens but he's not a kitten anymore he's bigger then she is lol. All of our pest are spade or neutered.

We just brought our dog home from a rescue center yesterday, and im so glad I did he is lovely, lively with other dogs but he has been able to do what he likes for a while with being a stray and then in kennels so he just needs to learn some public manners lol! At home he is an angel!

We got Zoey from the shelter. We had walked around and looked at all the other dogs but they weren't what we were looking for. Before we walked out, we were talking to one of the ladies that works there and she said she would be right back. A minute later she comes back out carrying Zoey. And that was it.

She acted really shy but we now know it was an act. LOL...she's a terrier mix and crazy! She's also one of the clumbiest dogs I've ever seen. But we still love her and we're happy to have her.

Most of our's are purchased from show breeders since we raise and show dogs but we also have a rescued senior. We got Dixie, an aussie x brittany, when she was just 4 wks old. We rescued the litter from the pound on D-day. My sister in law has her sister. They are 12 yrs old now.

Dixie has saved my life (when I left the stove on while pasturizing goat milk and fell asleep... house full of smoke...) She also saved a 3 yr old boy from drowning. She's quite the wonder dog!:)

I got my dog by an ad in the paper.I bought him.I'm happy I did I had him for a year.I always think of the day me and my daughter went to him as a pup.Of corse we brought him home.He's a great dog.

I have one 12 mixed girl, and we got her totally by chance. One of our neighbors went to Poland and brought her back when she was barely 7-8 weeks old. The lady had to work, so the poor thing got left outside most of the day on a rope with just a bowl of water. I'd go over to play with her as often as I could, and sometimes when it got rainy I'd take her back to our house since that house was closed.
Eventually, the lady had to go back to Poland for a few weeks to take care of some things, and she asked if we could take care of the dog for her. My dad said either we take her in forever, or we don't take her in at all.
So, we ended up taking her in forever, and it was a great choice. She's a wonderful guard dog, even though she's barely 1 1/2 feet tall, and she's probably one of the most conscientious dogs I've had the chance to meet. We're lucky to have her.

Awww. I rescued my puppy from the pound about 9 months ago. She is my baby! She is a beagle-pitt mix. Strange combination, but I wouldn't trade her for the world. She is really smart, sometimes too smart for her own good though!

Mine was given by our neighbor. I still remember when it's a puppy. It so aggressive that it barks at everyone that enters our yard. It does make sense though since its parents are really scary. Maybe its in the genes. Cause it's the first time we had a puppy that aggressive. Unfortunately it died in an accident just a month after its given to us. Never know if our neighbor regrets giving their puppy to us.

I got my dog in 06 as an early Christmas present.

We got him from peggy adams, which is a shelter here and i couldn't of been happier. it took me about 8 years of begging my parents every chance i got to get me a dog and they finally gave in! and now they are happy they did.
They love my dog to death too and my dad will make comments about if i move out, i'm not allowed to take the dog lol but he knows if i moved out my dog would be coming with me.

I love my boy so much! He's the best dog, sure a sweetheart and hes always with me

I got my dog from my friend when i was 11 years old (and im 22 years old right now and my dog is still alive and very healthy)...The other dog is my dog's baby...I really love my dog! she's all black, very sweet also and easy to train...
