[Mustangfreak]

This is Shinoda. I'm a HUGE Mustang person, and I named him after Larry Shinoda, who is the father of the Boss Mustang. I call him Boss for short so its fitting :rockin:

Thank you. He's been nothing but an awesome dog. He lives back in MA and i'm working down in CT. I can't tell ya how much I miss him sometimes. I love big dog breeds the best hands down.

The shelter that we are about to adopt from has a bernese and we really want him but we have to move often and we're afraid having a big dog will make it more difficult to find a place to rent.

We might get him anyway.

Orfy, do you have an idea what breeds are in your dog? I swear, he's almost the splitting image of Josh the dog my wife and I rescued from Hurricane Katrina.

Shelter dogs rock. Josh has to be the most loving and appreciative dog I have ever met.

This makes me happy. I used to work at an excellent animal shelter in Maine and it makes me happy to hear people say this. This attitude means one less that I would have to “take out back.” Shelter animals are really the best. You know what you are getting and it’s a healthy animal. (More so then pet stores/most breeders) This is my Shelter dog. Her name is Nori and is the best dog I could ever ask for (and one of 5 cats Miso.)

 

[HairyDogBrewing]

Not only is it difficult to find places to rent, but they tend to have problems with moving also. When we go up to our vacation place he can't get situated for a few days. He knows it's his place, but it's not home.

Either way they are one of the most kind and compassionate dogs.

Bailey doing what he does best. Some dogs like to curl up in their beds.....and then there's mine.

 

[Saccharomyces]

We have two adult cats, two kittens and a dog.

The kittens were strays who got adopted after showing up in the garage during a double brew day. It started raining and they were looking for shelter.. they never left!

Ok. I have to introduce mine.

Here's KB:

A few years ago I was doing commercials for a cable company and needed to update an ad for a local animal rescue group called NOAH (Northwest Organization for Animal Help, Stanwood WA, We strive to reduce pet overpopulation). I'd never been there, so the lady who runs the place offered to give me a tour.

It's a really cool place with the kennels fronted by plexi glass with a little opening you can let them sniff you through or pass a treat to them, or if they're friendly, you can reach in and pet them without going inside. We entered one building housing 10 dogs. As soon as we went in the dogs started barking and jumping on the pexi and basically being obnoxious trying to get attention to be let out for a run... except one. One little lab-shepherd mix was just standing quietly... kind of sadly... with his nose poking through the opening in the glass. Of course, I had to go and talk to him and as I got there, he turned and pressed his neck against the opening, eyes pleading for me to just touch him. I reached through and pet him for a while and then had to go. As I walked away he got that sad look again and just watched me leave with his nose resting on the bottom of the hole in the glass.

I went back to work but couldn't get this dog out of my head. We are allowed pets where we live, but we're in an apartment so I never got one due to the necessary rain-or-shine walking and such. This dog just wouldn't leave my mind. By the time I got home and my wife asked me how it went, I just... ok... confession here... I started tearing up a bit telling her about this dog. We had 30 minutes until the center closed and jumped in the car then and there.

When we walked into the kennel area with 5 minutes left before closing, he perked up a little when he recognized me. We visited with him again and my wife and daughter were immediately taken with him like I was. The next day I got out of work early so we could go there and take him for a walk and play in one of the off-leash areas they have on site. 20 minutes later we sat down for our interviews with the "matchmakers" who volunteer there and by the time we left I'd put the adoption fee on my credit card.

He's not such a little dog anymore, but we haven't regretted it for a moment.
