Foto Friday - Photogenic Dundy!!

Marchel,

My dogs are photogenic, too, but I can hardly ever catch them in a pose like this. :)

Marchel, certainly looks like a well cared for, happy dog!

Oh so cute. Give him a hug and tell him he is famous. Maybe get a shot of him reading ALL about him on AR.

Dundy looks like he's found his forever home!  How awesome is that?  I agree, and have always said rescued dogs are very grateful and make the best companions.

Dundy is very cute. Golden retrievers are an awesome breed.

I can highly recommend rescue cats, too. I do think both dogs and cats know when someone has rescued them from those cages at the animal shelter.

One dog and cat were rescued. My little Jack Russel was bought from an individual who wanted to breed her personal dog "one time".  My next door neighbor and neighbor across the street have dogs that have been "rescued".  One is Australian Shephard the other is a Beegle.

I'm glad you put the word out!

I had to come back and look at Calvin!  So cute.  I always choose rescue animals.  I don't think they're such great pets because they are grateful for being rescued, I think they are great pets because they were great animals who shouldn't have been in need of rescue.  I can't remember any incident of being sorry I chose a rescue animal, they've all over the years been great.  Some take more training and attention at first, but once we get to know each other it seems to work out fine.

Also, anyone wanting a certain breed can (sadly) easily find a rescue near them that specializes in that breed.  One of my rescues was a senior American Eskimo.  His owners were getting divorced and emotionally going through a hard time, and unfortunately at the age of 10 he needed a new home.  He was a beautiful dog, but it's a very nervous breed (this I did not know in advance, I'm a sucker for a pretty face I guess).  He won me over the first night, though.  I put him at the end of my daughter's bed at bedtime, then went outside and looked in the window.  He was on alert, guarding Rhiannon.  It's the "job" of the breed and the only time he didn't seem nervous was when he was guarding her.

Wendy - My neighbor has two Jack Russels, what characters!  They are her spoiled little friends, for sure.

Marchel, I am not a dog person, but if I were that is the way that I would get a dog.  Looks like you have add a great addition to your family.

Dundy is gorgeous, Marchel.  I also think you are fabulous for going to a rescue shelter instead of a puppy farm.  So many animals need good homes since people tend to turn them out so easily (which I never have understood).

Marchel he looks like a great dog to be around.  I am sure your son was please to have him as a pet.

Marchel, no cats.  I have a 72 gallon bow front tank with lots of fish.  All I have to do is feed them once a day, and a water change every couple of weeks.

Marchel,
What a gorgeous dog and he sure hit gold when he landed at your house!

Howdy there Marchel

Both Dubdy and Calvin, show all over their face's that they are very much loved. And a real part of the family, and nit just pets.

He is so cute and looks very happy. Thanks for sharing!

Looking for stories of Rescue Dogs.  Dundy is beautiful.  Thanks for sharing his story.  Our dogs and cat are resuce animals.
