Yes. And I will forever thank her for giving us “Don’t be all, like, uncool.”

Check out this little monster. And yes, he does use his cute, mismatched ears to manipulate everyone.

Technically our boos are rescues because they were fosters from PAWS (we didn’t foster them but Husband’s coworker did) that we got when they were stinkin’ adorable kittens:

Two rescue kitties. Trolley and Elroy.

My Caramel is a former feral, rescued by the wonderful Annex Cat Rescue association, in Toronto. She was born into an urban colony, and spent her first 15 months there (including one pregnancy. 3 out of 4 of her babies survived and were trapped, socialized, and adopted into well-screened homes), and she also…

My little angel pie. She’s 13, blind and deaf, but perfect to me.

Pumpin, I’ve been dying to show you. I got my petaissance print done on canvas after your post 2 weeks ago and I just love it. Every time I walk by it, it makes me smile.

God, it’s just so hard. I forced myself to clean the bathroom this morning. It took every ounce of energy I had. I also made myself run errands I’ve been avoiding for weeks. I stayed out of my apartment for like 2.5 hours and I managed to only fantasize about jumping off a bridge or in front of traffic twice. I took a…

My little rescue boop. Will be my 3rd anniversary with him next month. Life-changing pooch.

Just had my year anniversary with this rescue dog. She’s come a long way from the shivering mess I had to peel off the windows on the first night.

I fostered a couple and found good homes for them but then THIS one came along and I fell in love. She had a ton of issues - mange, ear and jaw infection, massive separation anxiety - the works. But the heart wants what the heart wants. 10 years next month!

Gus was rescued right from the source: outside. His previous people moved and left him behind, so he came poking around my house looking for a new mom/slave.

This is my best friend, nurse, bed buddy, and longtime companion. She was a rescue we got when she was a year old. She’s a active senior lady of 13 now. She was so scared and skittish at first and now she is such a diva! I can’t think of too many beings I’ve loved more than my Kelly.

We have 7 dogs. 3 strays dumped in the neighborhood and 4 from rescue groups.

Lily was born in a feral cat colony, and went to a foster and then to me after her mother was spayed.

Meee. His name is Sampson, and he has lived with us for almost 6 years now. He spent his puppyhood in an abusive home, and then an animal shelter, resulting in terrible anxiety so he can’t be left alone (he’s expensive but cute).

I have three: a cute, almost-14 year-old Katrina rescue named Skye; a collie shepherd mix who was found in the trash with her litter and one day from death, named Lucie; and a “special” hound, found starved and abandoned, who is very sweet and keeps me entertained, as she sees ghosts, named Allie. I’ve had two other…

I’ve had rescues my entire life. Even my purebred dog, a St Bernard, came to us because her owner thought she’d grown too much (really?!?). They’re the best.

You guys, I’m struggling.
