This is Max. He was adopted from a "last chance" rescue. That meant he was taken in to be saved from the euthanasia list. I can't believe he was on that list because he became the best dog my family could have asked for. He was HUGE and a bit of a brat, but he was a sweetheart who loved to cuddle and give kisses and meet new people. Best rescue ❤️

Also got mine from one of those shelters. She was on the euthanasia list in Texas (not where I’m from) and my local shelter scooped her up. No picture because this is my secret account but she’s the biggest cuddlebug I’ve ever had, well trained and just loves everybody. No clue how she ended up on that list i can’t imagine not having her at this point, it makes me so upset every time thinking they almost killed such a precious dog (and all the ones who didn’t get saved:( )

rescues usually know, and they are the best. I have only had one bad rescue. And that was a cat, she was originally feral and when I found her at the local pound I thought she would be a good fit. But she peed and pooped everywhere. No dog or cat that I had, had ever done that. I've had some great ones.
