Yeah, she's a softie that regularly brings them in from high-kill shelters and the like. She has a thing for the hard cases, the ones who need special care and such... which of course, ends up costing extra, but she's got some incredible
inducing success stories out of them.
If we didn't have strata limits, we'd probably have taken in half a dozen of her dogs by now... met Bambi when we were there the other day and just fell in love, she's SO cuddly for a chihuahua.

[edit] I love seeing all these animal rescues and the amount of work they put into ensuring these dogs find their forever home, but part of me always ends up depressed at the fact that all these great dogs were abandoned by their owners.

Not all of them are... and some are surrendered for valid reasons. Our latest addition Taffy, for example, spent her entire 12 years with an older couple until the wife got really sick and the husband simply couldn't care for both of them. It's apparent that he tried to do it for a long time, but just couldn't manage, as she was pretty badly in need of grooming and a teeth cleaning when he surrendered her to the shelter... they said he was heartbroken and shaking when he signed her over. She's such a spunky little gem - I can see why it would have been so hard to give her up.
