After a lifetime of rescue dogs last year I purchased my first purebred. This is Pacheco he is a one year old bull terrier. I felt guilty after purchasing him for about 5 minutes. For the price of a PSA 6 Koufax I purchased a best friend. He keeps me laughing as he is deliciously bad. He has a taste for expensive shoes and is a big time bra killer. I live with three women so he has a target rich environment. I have a very stressful job and I live vicariously through his I don’t give a sh!t attitude. My wife wants me to get him trained but why would I train all the fun out of him?

Well, he's technically not mine, but I do an awful lot of dog sitting!

Kricket is a rescue (we think he's an 11-year-old Rat Terrier) that my daughter got when one of the surgeons at her place of work (Oradell NJ Animal Hospital) did some free heart surgery on him at the request of the North Shore Animal League.

He is a great dog (though he still has health issues) and he used to be a great drinking companion!

Glad I am not the only one!

I love all animals and have owned a few dogs as well growing up, but due to circumstances, (we both work and feel it is unfair to a dog) we have a cat.

This neglected guy showed up a few days after we put our beloved "Norton" down, He just hung around, followed me to school when I went to pick up my son, became close, even with a wild side as he was an outdoor cat.
After a couple months, a lady, who seen him following us home from school, called his name.
Long story short, he belonged to her neighbor, and after conversing with them, they gave him up.
He was neglected, left outdoors for weeks, left out in the cold/rain, etc. (Found out from her and others)

Trip to vet to get all shots done, check up and has been nothing but a great, appreciative cat ever since.

These same people, for whatever reason, purchased another cat last year, which we seen, out in the rain, the cold, snow etc, and it has disappeared already!

I didn't pay too much attention to this thread at first because I figured it was about beat up baseball cards.

The pretty girl on the left is Jellybean, she's a 4 yr old Border Collie Mix. The cute little guy on the right is Hershey, he's a 4 yr old Spaniel/Dachshund mix. Both are shelter rescues and each turns 5 in December. They're very valuable members of our household and pretty good friends themselves.

This is one of those rare times they're both sitting still and were actually being quite cooperative so I could take their picture.

Might be adding a 3rd in the upcoming weeks as well

I'm not much of a pet guy, however, my wife and I dogsit our daughter's American Staffordshire Terrier, BamBam, when she is working 24-hour shifts at a local fire & rescue department - and, he is a GREAT dog!

We adopted Trixie from the Second Change SPCA in Plano, Texas (a second chance shelter that rescues dogs from kill shelters) in October of 2014. The vet surmised she was 1 1/2 to 2 years old due to the wear on her teeth, so we'll celebrate her 4th birthday this October. She seems to like pre-war Goudeys. Very well marked Boston Terrier!

This is Buck, an eight year old yellow lab rescue. He's considered the Pete Gray of our canine community. Approx. 18 months ago, Buck lost a front leg...literally!
The leg had swelled up like a war club and could not be repaired surgically or rehabbed, testing did not give a definitive diagnosis. Upon amputation, the leg was sent via UPS to the University of Colorado to be biopsied. Unfortunately, the appendage never reached its destination.....UPS lost the leg. Imagine the look on the individual's face who opened that package!
