I have rescued many strays and kept them as my forever friends. Currently, I have a Great Pyr, Collie, and Newf/Great Pyr that I rescued. My 12 yr old Italian Greyhound is the only non-rescued dog I have ever had! I have always been a dog person, and my youngest child shares that special compassion too. On 2/15/09, we adopted Billie (Jean) from Cat World at Best Friends!
