Okay, here are my guys. They all have long and sad stories, like yours. *sigh*;(

Meneken. A purebred Brussels Griffon who, amazingly, no one would take. He was threatened with euthanasia, twice, but then he found me. He belonged to an older lady, who died, and was placed separately from his biological sister, who he'd been with all his life, and she was the leader. He bonded instantly with my cocker spaniel, who loved her little acolyte, but I lost her six months after I adopted him, despite fighting the good fight. *sigh*



Sara. She was found as a stray in Ohio, and was scheduled to be gassed, which, apparently, they still do there. But there is a group of young people who run a kind of "underground railroad," bringing animals to rescue groups in New York and Vermont, where we have tougher animal protection laws. She was such a nice dog that the people working at the horrific place where she was convinced them to include her. And I adopted her, as another "sister" for Meneken. *sigh*



And Catlin, who I lost several months ago. This was really tough, since she was the pet who I rescued, myself. And it was not easy. I fed her, outside, for four months before I managed to bring her in and I finally had to resort to a "have a heart" trap to do it. It was getting cold and I was getting worried. Apparently, she'd been left by a neighbor who moved. *sigh* She had a rough time settling in, since she'd been out far too long, but dental surgery transformed her. She must have been in pain.



And last, but never least, my love, Rhiannon, a truly amazing little being, who I agreed to take after my uncle died. She was the kitty of a lifetime.
