Mixed Breeds and Rescue
Click here to go to Petfinder where Tack and TJ (my cat) were found!
Growing up my family always had mixed breed dogs. They found their way to my parents in many different ways. I never thought that there was something "better" out there in the way of purebred dogs.
I love the uniqueness of mixed breeds and I love the thought of providing a home for a dog (or cat) that needs one. I admit I still have requirements, but breed is not one of them!
My childhood dogs include:
Fritzi, our dog when I was very young. She was medium- sized, mostly white and photos of her remind me of some kind of herding dog. She came from my mother's grandmother's farm.
Specs, a medium-sized sheepdog mix. She was a sweet soul and so well behaved. She was $10 from a lady next door to church.
Abby, a shih-tzu or Lhasa mix that a friend of my mom's couldn't keep. She was the first dog I tried to "train" a
little. Another very sweet soul.
Koezzy was my parent's first
purebred dog, a mini poodle that just passed in September of 2011, just 2 months
from her 18th birthday.
Now they have Ernie, a miniature poodle rescued from an animal shelter at 9 years old.
