The joy of rescue.
It's been three years since we rescued Teddy from a family that treated him terribly. He was crated for 10 to 12 hours and only fed and watered on occasion. When we got him he was untrimmed, unwashe...

I have to tell you about our rescue. The DW was surfing the rescue sites one evening in April 2 1/2 years ago. (she has since been blocked from rescue sites):W Anyway she found a little special needs Red Boston that was blind in one eye that had spent the first year and a half of his life in a puppy mill till the authorites raided it and he wound up in the hands of a local rescue group here in KC.
We called that evening and the lady was very up front with us that he needed some dental work and added that he absolutely didn't like males and that it may not work for him with a male being in the home. We did agree for a meet and greet the next evening. She brought him by our house the very next evening and when the wife let her in the front door i sat down on the living room floor and told her to turn him loose. He ran up the steps jumped in my lap and started giving me kisses and just settled into my lap like we were long lost friends. The gal from the rescuse agency just stood there dumbfounded and said she would have never guessed that reaction from him.
Well the rest is history. He adopted us 2 1/2 years ago and was accepted into our small pack of other Bostons and just absolutely loves to go camping with us. He rewards us every day of our lives together and never lets us know how he appreciates us rescuing him. He has truly become my heart dog.
