Congrats Adorable


Those are such smart dogs.

We had an Australian Cattle dog for 16 years (Blue Heeler) she was a pound puppy, she was great dog.

I just rescued a German Shepherd from the GS rescue in OC. Had her 5 months and she is an awesome dog.

Puppies are great. If not for the long fur, Shepard would be on my list.
Currently dealing with these two.

Pros and cons people. I like the idea of a rescue dog. I think it's the right thing to do. A little worried about not knowing what breed it really is or the temperament, also I really don't want an abused dog. Sometimes they never seem to right after that.



Talk to you're pal 82Daytona I hear he has a dog you can rescue from him.

4 Weeks ago I lost my dog to Cancer. 8 years old, way to young, a fight we both tried to win but unfortunately the cancer won. I spent thousands trying to keep my mate alive for just another year. One tough dog, every day he tried not to let it effect him. I fucking hate cancer. It took my dog, Dad, and my mother in law which was one of my favorite most inspiring people in life. As my family and I sit in our living room eyes full of tears trying to figure out how to get past this we decided to get another dog. Probably a bit fast but its what we're doing. My dog Donzi, a pure breed Black Mouth Cur originating from the Howard line, was by far for the family and I the best dog we've come across. My wife was not a dog lover, that shit changed with Donzi. She fell absolutely head over heals in love with Donzi and he protect my family to the end. Maybe it's wrong but I probably spent more time with Donzi then my wife. Its amazing and you just don't get it unless your a dog owner, what your best friend thats a dog means to you and when they go how heart breaking it is. I have not been this emotionally wrecked in some time. Most on this thread understand what I'm saying.

In my search for a new dog I got lucky and found our dog Donzi, his nephew the father of a litter that will be born at the end of this month. I'm still in shock that this came about. Papers of the 2 dogs back it up. Just knowing that a piece of Donzi is in our new pup is a great feeling. This weekend we get to meet the parents and I'm sure it will be emotional for my family and I. The crazy thing, the Breed of this dog is based out of Alabama and in the search we found Donzis nephew here in California, talk about a score. I remember when I received Donzi from the breeder in Alabama she also was dropping one off in Northern Cali, Donzi's sister, to my new breeder. Small fing world. With this said, all my neighborhood cats, rabbits, raccoons, coyotes, and bad guys, you better get your game on, Donzi's great-nephew is shortly going to be the newest G. Faulk family member running the neighborhood... :D:D

Here's the only negative. One of my clients donates about 10 hours a week to the local dog shelter here in Santa Barbara. I feel absolutely guilty I'm not saving one or two of these dogs. I see both sides, but for my family and I I can't see not having Donzi's pure breed of dog in our family. To get over the guilt, I think it might be time to donate a bit of my time to the shelter.

Sorry to hear Greg, my sympathies. I lost my Lab over a year ago and I'm still not over it.

Thanks man, sorry for your loss I totally get what your feeling. I feel like a big sissy, I hear a song that reminds me of him and I get tears. Crazy what your dog can do to you.

Sorry to read that. It took me about 4 years to start over. I was ready. I'm also glad I waited. I do call my puppy her name all the time without thinking. [emoji51]

I want to take the dogs people don't want, the ones that have been in a shelter or rescue for extended periods of time. I don't know what it is, but the sadness I feel when looking at those poor dogs, It kills me.

There's a dog I've been mulling over, she survived cancer, was turned in, abused, and now has polyps that keep surfacing. To top it off, the foster can't keep her anymore.

You've been around long enough to probably know my story about my Molly. I know all too well how incredibly hard it is to be robbed of years of a dog's life. She didn't even make it to 7. :( Fock Cancer.

I also knew that some would judge us for getting another dog shortly after losing her. I was in a really bad place, and getting another dog really helped to bring light back into my life. You just have to do what is right for you and your family and forget about what anyone thinks.

I hear a song that reminds me of him and I get tears. Crazy what your dog can do to you.

Same here. Bittersweet by Zac Brown Band is the song we played when we placed her ashes in the River. That song wrecks me...


I hope you'll share pictures of the new pup when you get him!

Your rainbow bridge dog would he happy and honored you got another dog, regardless of time that passed. Just shows how much you loved and miss your fur kid. From beyond the bridge, your kid sent you a special angel to help heal your heart.
