Since I've taken in some 'extras' recently that I'd not planned on, thought it would be neat to see everyone's fosters. No rescues mentioned or anything like that, just a photo gallery of the amazing dogs that people can find in rescues, in general!
So, first the mom and baby pittie that were pulled for another rescue from the euth line and then the rescue bailed on them, so I was 'stuck' so to speak. Mom Liza and baby Randy.
Duval, a rat terrier rescued from an abusive home in Florida. We've worked with him to get him past his insecurity for 5 years now and he's still a big chicken.
Buffy (poodle) was dumped by a BYB when she couldn't make them money anymore. About 10-12 years old but full of life and so sweet. She likes sleeping at the foot of the bed, snuggling and gives 'hugs'.
Alvin a (possible) cattle dog mix was on the euth line in a shelter and another rescue asked if I could pull him for them. I did and I lined up a lady to board him until they could get a transport to Chicago for him. 10 days later the other rescue said they pulled 2 sick dogs and couldn't afford to take him now. So we wound up with him.
Cooper, a one year old black lab that I pulled from a high kill shelter at 8 weeks old. His 'breeder' didn't want black labs, only yellow and was going to drown him at birth. Someone convinced him to at least give him to a shelter to stand a chance, but the shelter was going to euth him 5 days late so I grabbed him.
Honey a Corgi Bassett mix was dumped in a neighborhood with her 5 puppies. The lady that took her had kennels set up for dogs that she was vetting and finding homes for but found out that the kennels sit on the neighbor's land. His kids are selling his house and told her if she didn't get rid of the dogs and kennels they'd bull doze them with the dogs in them, so she's in a mad rush to find them all homes.
Lucky's 'mom' rented an apartment but wasn't allowed to have pets so Lucky had to go.
And our 'bonus' foster Nibbles a classic bobtail kitty. She was dumped at the local church. A girl that's on my daughter's bus picked her up and brought her on board but said she couldn't keep her, so my daughter of course said she'd bring her home. That apple didn't fall far from the tree, eh?
WHOOPS LOL didn't realize this was just for dogs, but hopefully rescued cats are welcome too
Albert (as a baby) - my bocas street cat that I adopted. July 2005-October 2009
Sasha Anne - rescued from the Summit County Animal Shelter. She passed at 14 two years ago
Goldie Anne - my adopted street cat who hangs out at my office in Boquete and is our office mascot. This picture was taken right after she made herself at home so to speak lol now she's filled out (being fed) and very sassy. Even knows office hours, eats then sleeps until it's time to close the office. She does have a 'pseudo family' 2 doors down, but they have a ton of animals and don't give her the love (and food we do)
Misty Rose - who I adopted from my neighbors, was sleeping outside, had fleas and my Albert who I just lost at 3 years old was in love with her mama. Wasn't rescued in true sense of the word, but now she's sleeping inside, getting high quality food, baby revolution so no more fleas and a ton of love from her new mama.

Reason: addition
i don't have a rescue but i volunteer at a rescue near my house. i'll try to get some pictures. there are a zillion cats and 8 dogs. the dogs are basically all unadoptable for one reason or another (so are most of the cats). they are:
lexi - funny little fat dog - probably a dachsund/beagle mix.
sparkle - i'm not sure what her breeds are but she's my favorite - really sweet smallish (35 lbs?) black dog.
bobby bear - he's around sparkle's size but he's a fluffball.
sonny - lovely red & white pit mix. he is a such a cuddlebunny.
lady - sheltie mix, pretty high energy but very sweet.
smoky - some kind of husky mix i think, nice but snaps when you have food in your hand.
romy - big giant hound mix, probably the most sociable of the bunch, loves to play fetch & tug and cuddle.
tasha - i'm not sure what she is, she looks sort of purebred/inbred. she has fluffy varicolored fur, mostly white, kind of buggy eyes, one blue, one brown. she's one of those dogs who goes through every trick they know when they want something from you. total sweetie.
princess - for some reason i always call her my lil jackal. she is small, has markings sort of like a german shepherd, and has gigantic ears. she is a wild girl and can jump to amazing heights, but is a total doll when she calms down.
