I have 3, full breed dogs. All rescues.

1 yellow lab, he was not gentle are around kids. He is my best bud. Goes with me every where. He is a nut case! But that dog has my heart! He will be 7 this year. Got him when he was a pup. His name is Butter.

Black and white Siberian husky. She was used as a backyard breeding dog. She didn't know how to play or be a dog. She was done making pups and the owner left he just chained up in back yard in middle of summer. We rescued her, she is now Queen of the house. her name is Sheba. She is 9. Got her at 5 years old.

Red and white husky, she is the baby of the group. She is 3. Got her last year from a couple that did a impulse buy and did not study the breed. They HAD a cat. They wanted to put her down. I get a call from rescue group. I was so mad!!! This Oct 30th, will be 1 year with us. Her name is Yaya. And she sounds like luther vandroos when she howls. She is my shadow.

My dogs have all taught me to love harder, longer and bigger!

I am always full of hair, have dog biscuits in my Michael Kors purse, tennis balls in the back of truck. And wouldn't change it for the world!

So if you want a dog, get one, rescue one, they will love you and fill a part of you that is missing. But treat them kind, and you will always have a best friend.
