My wife fausters for a shelter and none ever seem to find other homes. We get all the misfits. You know cats with three legs, one eye and the ones that don't come to anyone but her. I have 2 favorite dogs out of the 6 here now. A big black Male Golden Bernese "Dodge". and a female Golden puppy "Dori".
They were playing in the back fenced yard and a Coyote came in after the little girl and puppy. That golden held off the Coyote until "Dodge" the Bernese got out the back door. Now the Bernese is always watching over them. Dogs are a must when you live along the mountains and have kids.
Cats are always needed to keep the field mice and chipmunks out of the sheds and cars. We also have 16 chickens and 4 rabbits . Its like animal kingdom. And not one of them support themselves.
