A rescue is a rescue. They all need loving forever homes. And kitties too. Losing them is so painful. That's why I haven't adopted another one. We lost one in 2019 and one in 2021. I can still burst into tears if I think too much about the loss. I wish I could deal with it better because there are so many homeless dogs and cats.

Beagles are great dogs...well all dogs are great dogs. I've had a purebred Irish Setter and a purebred German Shepherd. They were both awesome dogs. The last two were mixes. One from the pound the other found us when we were camping. She most likely was dumped. She was about a year old at the time. She had a lot of issues which I assume came from having a not so good first year of life. I loved them both so much and I miss all my dogs and cats dearly.

That Great Pyrenees sure did his job. They are powerful. That breed is often dumped or left behind by shepherds moving their flocks. There is an annual sheep drive up in the mountains and it's not uncommon to see a lone Pyrenees that somehow got left behind. Most of them are unapproachable. It's a very sad situation. Many shepherds treat them more like a tool than a living being. They often don't get much human interaction in those conditions. When they lose one they just get another to do the job.
