Contributing Member Crystal Posted October 14, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted October 14, 2009 We took some items into the local humane society this weekend. Dropped off newspapers, toys, blankets and bleach. Came home with this little fellow: We named him Jimme. My sister told us "You can't change the whole world by adopting one dog but you can change one dog's whole world." We're sure glad we get the chance to change his.

Members wildrose Posted October 14, 2009 Members Report Posted October 14, 2009 Congrats! I like your sister's quote - that's how I feel about the cat we adopted from our city shelter. Quote Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com
Members dustin29 Posted October 14, 2009 Members Report Posted October 14, 2009 That is awesome. Its nice to see not all people are just looking out for themselves. That is a fine looking dog. Hope all turns out well for ya. Quote
Members CitizenKate Posted October 14, 2009 Members Report Posted October 14, 2009 Bet that young fella is glad to be out of the hoosegow! Glad you adopted a shelter pet. There are soooo many good ones in those places. My own two mushing heroes are from shelters, as will be any future ones. They are highly worthy of a life. Kate Quote
Members TTcustom Posted October 14, 2009 Members Report Posted October 14, 2009 Hoooray!!! Thank you for changing one animals world and with the many others that get shelter pets we can change the world together. Life is so much better with compassion.

dirtclod Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Jimme is one fine looking fellow !! Looking at the picture he knows he is Home !! :-)) My last two dogs have come from the pound. Miss Hannah was a Cocker and i had her almost 15 years. Happy Man got bailed out right before Christmas last year. Getting a Pound Puppy is a win win for them and us. We get a new friend and they get a new home. Your sister is excatly right !! Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Hilly Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Good on you, Crystal! There should be more people like you in this world! Quote

Contributing Member Crystal Posted October 15, 2009 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks, everyone. We don't feel too special about scooping him up, I am sure if you'd have seen him you'd have done the same. So far a few health issues, which I was expecting. But - he is housebroken, plays a good ball game, is polite and extremely gentle. Loves the car and isn't afraid of the vet. Only thing he didn't care for was the bath, but he stood like a trooper anyway. He lays where you tell him to, doesn't fuss over food and won't touch anything unless you give it to him. We are amazed! However, we are watching Suzie (the springer) and the cats.... we think they are plotting and want to send him back. We've hidden all the rope and duct tape from them.
