My 1st dog was a Christmas gift from my mom at the age of 7. Her name was Pinina and she was wonderful, loyal, and therapeutic. Since then I have loved dogs and have started rescuing them more recently. I have my own babies: Xi-Xi, Chicho, & Charlie (background picture). I have used Xi-Xi at my old work as free-lance pet therapy. Chicho was our first rescue. He was a stray that was never claimed. We were going to give him away but decided to keep him instead. Charlie we got as a puppy. He is the product of inbreeding and as a consequence has a lot of health issues (reason why I am strongly against pet stores selling puppies and backyard breeding). Our second rescue was a stray pug with a severe eye & throat infection, which I just could not take care of (monetarily) and gave to Little Angels Pug Rescue. Since then I have become the crazy lady chasing strays down the street and getting people to sign over pets that they do not care about so that I can get them fixed and find them a permanent loving home. I am also the lady people come looking for when they do not want their pets or have found strays. My family, boyfriend, and recently my neighbor help me rescue. My animal lover network grows every day, which is key when I need to send out those mass emails about my latest rescues. If you think you can help expand it please email me your email address or share my blog link on your webpage/emails/etc. I am only 1 person doing what I can with what I have (with monetary help from others). I hope my actions and this blog spread awareness of how many thousands of pets are out there needing a home and or being put to sleep everyday. I also hope it inspires others to rescue, spay and neuter their pets, and spread the word. Please please please RESCUE! Do not purchase unless it is from an AKC breeder (do not support heartless backyard breeders).
