Re: just curious...where is your pet from

We got Cooper at Shake-A-Paw... biggest mistake and best decision we ever made.

We had no clue how horrible pet store were nor did we know anything about puppy mills. We were educated real fast after all of Cooper's health problems started to show themselves. I know a lot of people on here won't agree with me when I say we truly feel like we rescued him from that pet store, and have given him a happy and healthy life.

none of the above.

I found my Henry on Henry St in Brooklyn in front of a brownstone!! A nasty witch came out of the brownstone dragging 2 children. When I asked if that was her bunny, she barked "NO its not my bunny and you can HAVE IT!". The kids didnt even give that bun a first look they were terrified!!!

Took him home, cute and tame as anything. Vet said he was spayed so he was someone's pet...now he's ours and we just couldn't love him moreChat Icon Chat Icon

my Remy was my husbands...he got her from a breeder 11 years ago when she was a pup...

my Cassie we adopted last september from shih-tzu and furbaby rescue, its a really great organization..

she is 12 years old and the fiancee of her former owner had brought her to the vet to get euthanized because of her very easily managed skin allergy. The vet he took her to would not do it and contacted the rescue and thats how we found her...she is really a joy to us and we are thankful that vet saved her...

Brutus was also from Shake a Paw. We got him way too young.

Unfortunately, DH will never let a shelter dog into his home, so our next Boston will be from a breeder.

He had three shelter dogs growing up and all three gave them problems and ended up being violent and had to be given away.

And his family is actually really good with training dogs - and never had a problem with any other type of dog.

I have 2 cats. One is from little Shelter, and an amazing animal, the other one is from someone I used to be friends with who is heartless.Needless to say I am not friends with her anymore...., the friendship did not last long b/c of the way she acted, but she gave me an amazing kitty- she loves to be loved.
