Two years ago we started our family with just me and my husband, no children. I have PCOS so children might be a miracle for me. I lost my pitt bull/chow to an ignorant persons hatred for both breeds. I found Shippo a 1 yr old Whippet/Boxer mix on petfinder. I called THE SIGTHOUND ADOPTION AND FOSTERING CENTER OF IDAHO and spoke with Roy and to my surprize they still had him. He was thin, skiddish, and I found out he suffers with seperation anxiety but I wanted him anyways against my husbands better judgement. When we brought him home we found out he was finicky as well so we found a food that works and kept him. He became my service dog and is such a mamas boy....
A year after we got Shippo, Roy called us with another dog. Shai a 4 month old Border Collie mix and now a year later shes our babygirl with epilepsey, she had her first seziure a week ago but we still love her.
Then almost a month ago my sister drops off a sickly pittbull puppy with Parvo off on me and with pedialite and raw egg I brin him back to health and now hes running, playing, and trying to tear up dogs bigger than him and we called him Dojo.
The last member of our family a 7 yr old black lab came to us 2 weeks ago, her old owners asked us to sit her. she was chained out 24/7 without proper shelter, she even has a mark on her neck from where the chain dug in. they over fed her giving her 12 cups of dog food a day so she is overweight, she now is getting fed less and welcomed into our home...
Hello and welcome to DFC!
You have a very understanding husband, sure wish mine was a quarter easy going as yours! Seriously, I love people like you, who take in unwanted pups no matter the breed and their health conditions. It's a pity there aren't more of you in this world.
Would love to see some photo's of your pups.
