This is our rescue dog, Precious. We saved her from a shelter in Missouri, 10 years ago. She had been on the street for a while, and only weighed four pounds. They were getting ready to put her to sleep that week. I had looked at some of their other dogs, but didn’t have a connection with them. I had seen her in her cage, and asked to hold her. I opened the cage, and before I could reach in, she jumped out, wrapped her legs around my neck, as if to say “mama, take me out of this crazy place!” We bonded in that instant. We had to carry her up and down steps for a few weeks before she was strong enough to climb them herself. She’s been a godsend for us, we think she’s an angel that was sent to brighten our lives, which she has. She’s such a character, has her own loving personality, and keeps us going. She “owns” us, we don’t own her. Whoever either lost her or threw her away, lost one of the best dogs around. She has gone from a skinny, quiet creature to one who has filled out, and lets everyone know whats what. Love her dearly!

This is my dog, Sophie. I rescued her from a local shelter as a puppy and she is now living the dream at the age of 4. I own my own business so she comes with me every day to work and everywhere else I go she rides beside me in the passenger seat. She obviously also sleeps in my bed at night with her own pillow, on her back. She is half human and I am so very thankful to have her.

Pit Bulls Wait Longer
Many pit bulls in Reno-area shelters are waiting for a forever home. They often must wait longer than other breeds because of fear.
To spread the word that this fear is generally unjustified and to inspire people to take a chance on adopting a homeless pittie, Nevada Humane Society and RGJ.com’s Mostly Dogs blog teamed up for a contest where readers told their stories about

Bella is an awesome shelter pooch. She was sealed in a barrel with seven other puppies and rolled off at a seed & feed store in Pocatello ID. The local Pocatello Animal Shelter helped to save her, and she has been my daily companion for three years now. Best girl ever!
