Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Adopted a rescue dog this week...

Told the daughter I'd THINK about it if it was OK with her stepmom...wife told me the next day we were getting the dog. My little girl is pretty jacked, she won't get to meet miss Abby until day after tomorrow. We picked her up yesterday and she is a sweetheart.

Good for you!

Going to be awesome.

Y'all done good.

BP...

Great idea. They usually come with some baggage though, so be patient

Good on ya Tim looks like a cool mut. We've had a string of rescue dogs through the years a lot of good memories and zero regrets.

Very cool!

Good for you!

rescues rock!

Cool looking dog

Good looking pup.


Congratulations!

Congrats to you and the new member of your family!!!

We've had 9 rescues since 2002. 3 have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and the latest one arrived about 2 weeks ago. All but 3 found us, we didn't go looking . . .

Miss Abby will be showing her gratitude for years to come. It's a fine thing you've done.

Absolutely. Pitbulls are some of the sweetest dogs there are. So different from the reputation that many are shocked when they first meet one.

We lost our 13 year old Fannymae last December. I have owned many dogs but Fanny was the best. More like a person than a dog. Understood everything and always did what was right. It was devastating to see her go and I said never again. A few months later my wife said our middle daughter who is a vet tech was fostering a couple of shelter dogs. I said I don't even want to see them. A week later the daughter had to go on a business trip and the wife informed me that we were taking care of one of them for the week. I was sitting at the counter having a beer when they brought her in. I knew I was in trouble at first sight. She was a 4 month old brindle colored hound and lab mix who ran right up to me tail wagging and started to lick my hand. Might even be some pit in there because she was brought up from Louisiana. Looking in the internet she looks just like some of the file photos on Plott Hounds. She is now 7 months old and is about 45 pounds and is really a nice dog. Very smart but still puppy mischievous. Got to pick up socks and shoes before she finds them... LOL.

Nice doggie!!

I think she is starting to get comfortable with us, she is still VERY well behaved, but she is getting much more willing to play. Such a sweet dog, I'll even forgive her for eating my sandals...I was going to throw that pair away a year ago anyway.

Just wish my kids listened as good as Abby does.

All kids need a pup.Good move...

Just a quick update, seems like everyone loves Abby. She is just such a good tempered, quiet dog. Yes she's a pitbull mix and I really think that they get a bad rap. I know 3 other people with similar dogs and they are great dogs. Personally, I think Abby is the best of the lot...I may be biased.
