Lindsay, Dutch came from the pound in Brookings, South Dakota. The pound kept him for 2 weeks (which is much longer than required) as they kept hoping his family would come for him. They were notified but they never came. I coordinated with the Brookings Humane Society, who was too full to take him, to have him pulled and they found a volunteer to drive him to Watertown where I picked him up.

Dogs in need of adoption makes me think of Sheba’s breeders in Sweden. They were really selective and didn’t let people choose a puppy, but chose the right one for the right family. Sheba and her eleven siblings now have their own blog, and the more I hear about the other siblings, the more I know that Sheba was the right dog for me. It’s not only about the breed, it’s about the personality. I can definitively relate to Patti’s reflection on being closer to her rescued dog than the other one. Some of my favourite dogs – whom I loved and who loved me more than words can tell – were street dogs, “belonging” to other households. I learned then that dogs who’ve had a tough life can bond with you like no other. It’s amazing the link you get when the bond is right.

Yeah I saw he was saved on the 4 luv of dog website. We were tempted to say we would foster him. But with 2 new additions under the age of 8 months we are pretty busy right now. We’ll be ready in about 6 months.

I have a hard time seeing those dogs! The sad thing is, you are right, each dog could be like Dutch. I’m so happy you saved him. What pound was he in?

I have a really hard time posting the due to be euthanized dogs on the 4 Luv of Dog Rescue website, especially when there is a picture included.

One of my dogs, Dutch, was just a day away from being euthanized when I found out about his situation. I received his picture in one of the many emails I receive regarding dogs needing rescue from death row. When I saw his picture something deep inside me told me that I had to help THIS dog. Despite objections from the hubby I made arrangements to pull him from the pound and get him transported to Fargo.

Dutch is an absolutely wonderful dog despite some fear agrression and medical issues. I cannot believe that his family did not come rescue him from the pound!

I hate to say it, but I have a much deeper bond with Dutch than my other dog Jake. There is just something special about him.

When posting the urgent dogs on the website, I can’t help to think that this dog could be another special dog just like Dutch.
