I found my baby, barely 5 weeks old in a scrap yard. Her tail had been cut off with scissors and she was being tortured by the couples kids. I couldn't leave her there as they were going to let someone take her the next day if I hadn't. She is now 3.5yrs old and has had a lot of issues in her life and even a simple walk has to be carefully planned out first.
She is worth everybit of hard work though and will always have a permanent safe home here with me.
Sadly because of issues I have heard that 2 of her siblings that had already left when I got her have been destroyed and another if still alive has had at least 4 homes as owners couldn't cope.
She repays me hands down with her love and devotion to me and means more than the world to me and always will.

My Pug came from a puppy breeding farm in Wales. When she had trouble with her last litter they sent her to the pound with her insides protruding from her. She also had a very painful glaucoma which resulted in her having to have her eye removed.
A rescue center became her saviour --they took her knowing how much money it would cost them to put her right. She is safe with me now. Despite her cruel treatment by humans she loves us all!

Oh that smell ----it filled the car as we travelled home from Wales. In the travel crate beside me was a urine stained poodle .She had already had one bath at the rescue but ---------she still smelt horrible !!! She licked my fingers as I touch her through the bars . "I will make you beautiful as all Poodles should be " I told her . I think I have kept my promise, don't you ?

"She is in here " he said " she's a wreck". He opened the door of his lounge and a tiny Yorkshire terrier pressed herself into the skirting board to try and make herself invisible. I bent down and picked her up-----to scared to bite ----to scared to do anything except press tighter and tighter against me
as if by doing that she would disappear. It took time but day by day , minute by minute she realised that there were people who loved her
Six months has passed and a more delightful little girl I could not imagine.

I adopted this elderly girl as her owner was terminally ill and she had been handed to a rescue organisation. I couldn't bear the thought of her spending whatever time she had left in kennels.

Our dog came from Battersea, where she was a guest for almost two years.
Before that the first five years of her life were the last five of her old lady owner's.
We were told she was aloof, hated having her collar held, didn't like a fuss, needed to be muzzled for vet and groomer and was possessive over toys.
She let both of us handle her from the off and she stole our hearts away. She proved very amenable to training even though middle aged. She found the love of her life in fun agility, though having a fuss from visitors runs a close second. She changed so much in her first year with us, that when we took her back to a reunion, one of the kennel hands was in tears to see her so happy and so loving. She's our darling girl.

We didn't know much about him when we first got him other than he had been badly treated, he had been beaten up and thrown across the room, he had come from a family with young children and is still terrified when we see any young children out and about, when we first got him home, he was so afraid, if we moved suddenly he would cower down, tuck his tail between his legs, wet himself and scamper of and hide, but after a lot of TLC he is full of confidence, and character, and is just a happy, cheeky chap.

It was my birthday - November 5th - and I was going to college. I spotted a grey pup by the main road and picked her up. I could feel every bone in her tiny body. Her fur was so matted she was blind and when I cut it away she wandered round staring in wonder at the world. We fed her every 2 hours with my sons taking turns on the night feeds and she survived. The only clues to her past life were her soft pink pads - never been outside I guess, and her terror when I picked up a Black bag - had she been left out for the rubbish?
She grew into an affectionate, happy-go-lucky little Lurcher. Taken too early, and much missed.

He was standing in a compound in the Rescue, unmoving and empty-eyed. He`d stopped eating and appeared to have given up on life, so they let me take him straight home. From his papers it appeared he`d been a pedigree pup in Ireland, imported for show and stud. I assume he never made the required height, because his history stopped there - until he was dumped in Rescue when 5 years old - untrained, neglected and in a sad condition.
That first evening he didn`t seem interested until I sat down to watch TV. Then he crept on to my lap, and lay shivering for a while as I held him, then went to sleep, whimpering.
He`s repaid our love many times over with his sweet temperament, enthusiasm for life and sheer force of character. Nearly 15 now and very much loved.
