Simple joy of getting a new Dog...
 

What a special gift for us to bring home on my birthday.

Let me introduce Queen Elizabeth II the Second.

7 year old Female of Pit and Yellow Lab mix. Think Miss Doubtfire.

Adopted her from a rescue shelter. My Llamas Approve.


I could learn much from a chillin' "just rub my tummy" lifestyle.

There is just something about getting a new dog at home, it's been a three year absence for us......

Congrats! Beautiful. HAPPY dog! Getting lot of attention.

A house just doesn't feel like a home without a dog.

Wonderful rescue! Looks like a great dog. Congrats and thank you :D

I've seen my dog (and others) eat other dogs' poop several times. I don't let them lick my face anymore, but that's just me.. Congrats !! ;-)

Congratulations and bless you. Pits and Pit mixes are hard to place, and far, far too numerous. The Queen is a lucky, happy dog.

Just saw your post, Rusty......CONGRATS and thank YOU for saving this little girl's life!

This pic says it all......

My son's Olde English takes the same kind of pose without asking.

Queen chunker needs a diet, got her on a scale today, 73 pounds. 60-65 is a good target.

His Lean waist with thick chest, the new Queen is going to have to start to "play ball" literally.


Elizabeth is much more Lab, than Pit.........she's a blob o' dog.

Better start playing some Jane Fonda fitness tapes with her high cut nylon leggings.......Fonda was yummy.

Great rescue. Good luck.

That is just great! Congrats. Very cool that the Llamas approve. What are they like?

Pits and Pit mixes are great dogs!
My little demon is half Am. Staffy and half Chesapeake bay retriever. It gets interesting at times.

What a cutie!

Do you call her, "Your Majesty"?

Why is it that most of the dogs in the shelters nowadays are pit mixes ? Are there that many breeders out there keeping thier puppy mills going for what the public wants, or are pit bulls just more successful in thier chance breeding encounters with other dogs ?

I applaud you for rescuing this dog, and hopefully give it a good home. My daughter tried to do the same thing with a pit/black lab mix that we all liked (she lives alone with a somewhat thin/small autrailian cattle dog). The dog was nice but would attack her other dog, and both of our dogs (65 lb aussie, and 15 lb pom) so she had to re-home it to someone with no other dogs around.

My DIL is active in the local "Pit Crew" pit bull rescue. She says it's because owning a bad-ass dog (PBs and rottweilers mostly) is the fashion in some circles. These people find out that you can't lay around smoking dope all day and take care of a dog too, so the dogs get neglected. The lucky ones escape or are turned loose. There are a lot of PBs that are badly abused through neglect. The latest act of cruelty she handled was a litter of PB puppies 8 days old that were throw alive in a dumpster. You wouldn't believe some of the things she sees. It breaks your heart.

Dude that's a pretty hard post you had, I edited out all your biased dribble.

If you're going to be a turd, go out and lay in the lawn.


don't blame the dog for the environment it was brought up in.

Mine was actually the end result of a divorce of the owners and neither picked it up at the kennel after fighting over the dog, so whose fault is that?


not all dogs or owners are meth head trailer park trash.


you turd SmileWavy

^^ We adopted a Jack Russel that came to our door one night .. We're pretty sure he escaped from a dumpster too, as he was terrified of any trash can.

Good rescue, Rusty. Queen will be a devoted companion for life ..

Heap, I reported you for name calling. Too bad poor reading comprehension isn't against the rules here.
I said NOTHING about the dogs. My entire post was about the behavior of some owners and an answer to the question of why so many PBs and PB mixes are in rescue.
