I posted on here about a week or so ago that we were thinking of adopting a dog. She's had heartworms, but has gone through treatment. She is precious. Her name is Patsy. She and our dog Buster, a cocker mix, are getting to know each other. They are in the cold shoulder stage right now. She's a schnapso ( schnauzer/ lhasa apso). If I can figure out how, I will add some pictures to this post. I'm in love. She was rescued from an irresponsible breeder. When they got her she gave birth to puppies that night. She had 6 but only 2 survived. They are as cute as their mommy. She was in terrible shape, but is putting on weight, and is just loveable. She has this great sweet, but not needy personality. I think she's going to be a wonderful addition to our family. We lost our Lhasa, about a year ago. I know she's not Tickles, but she sure has a lot of her good traits. The organization we adopted her from is called "Soft Hearts for Sad Eyes". They are a group of people who foster rescued animals in their homes till new homes can be found. She was taken wonderful care of there.

What a wonderful thing you and your family has done for that sweet girl! The very best of luck with your new "baby."

Have a great day!

Congratulations! What a wonderful story. I bet Patsy is one happy dog. We have 2 rescues and they are the best. I just went with a friend last week who adopted a 15 year old spaniel with possible cancer to join her family of 2 other spaniels. Same background as yours. We lived with a lhaso for 16 years--Leo. They are a breed apart and I loved him dearly. All the best for you and Patsy. Pets for Patsy. I love her name.
 
Congratulations! She's adorable!

We rescued a Boxer five years ago and it's a great feeling knowing that we've given him a second chance!
 
How wonderful! Congratulations! If that's Patsy's pic, she's just soooo cute! I love the name BTW! I'm sure you will all be so happy together (even Buster) once everyone gets comfortable with each other!
 
Congratulations, hopefull!! She's a doll. :)

Kudos for adopting a rescue dog. Our Boxer, Rascal, came to us through a rescue, and I really believe they know you did something great for them. :)

Great story for a Friday morning!
 
She's a pretty baby! Kudos to you to give her a good forever home. Poor baby had to go thru nasty heart worm treatment:mad::(. Give her an extra hug from me.
