I have four dogs - both german shepherds from breeders and a collie from a farm. My other collie is a rehome, as his shepherd owner died suddenly and he was looking for a home.

My first GSD was a rehome through the police and we had a rescue cat and rabbits when growing up.

I volunteer for GSD Rescue, and so imagine the majority of my future dogs will be through the rescue.

I have 5 just now, all adopted, 4 are here to stay but one is going to live with my parents next week as their dog passed on recently.

I would never do anything but rehome. They are all wonderful and very dearly loved.

Dahlia was adopted from a rescue in May 2008. She was originally in a high kill shelter where she was almost put down and then taken in by a rescue. I met her when I helped transport her to the rescue and fell in love with her. I adopted her a few weeks later.

4 of my 5 are rescues. Only Otis isn't. he's my Bessie's son and we kept him. I love having rescues.

Relatively yes - Hedgehogs are not too common as pets at the moment but already there are good breeders and moneymaking idiots and a few in rescue

Excuse my ignorance but what's a DT dog?

Dogs' Trust?

9 dogs here ALL of which are rescued! I used to always rescue/adopt my dogs from a certain centre in the bath area and always the older/unwanted ones but after recent events I'll never go near there again.

Since then I've been rescuing from a small place down in cornwall and have recently adopted a 3 legged staffy/lurcher cross who as you can imagine gets shed loads of attention. I've also recently rescued a young seagull that I found wondering my local streets, after I realised the parents were not on any building trying to get him up I brought him home and found him to have a damaged eye and was not able to use his wings at all, so now he lives in a outside avairy I built and is quite happy.

I also had a seagull! It was brought into the vets I was working at so no chance of getting it back to its nest. It grew up totally imprinted on initially (as hand fed) but eventually ended up living quite happily with my hens!

1 rescue here
