We have rescued all our pets over the years from various sources.  Our current dog family members were both rescued, the border collie/lab mix from the (pound) humane society (Lex was returned to the pound and then sent to the local men's prison for training) and he is a doll!  With his new training he came to our family and fit in like a dream!  We have had him for two years now, and just added a Shih Tzu to the family this past October.  I found Roscoe on Craigslist, he belonged to a family that could not keep up with his grooming and care, I ended up driving about 400 miles in one day round...
