Wow, I wish my chews lasted as long as it does for you guys. Thick, 12", bully sticks last for maybe two minutes (tops). Raw shank bones last about an hour, himalayan chews lasted about 30 seconds, and filled frozen kongs are gone in about 20 min. Anything that is a dehydrated something (trachea...

So, I had a puppy foster that ended up dying of rabies. We found her in a parking lot with her siblings - she was probably infected by a rabid bat (Dept of Health thinks anything larger would've just killed the puppy) and the rabies didn't surface till a month after we had her. I had to get...

I have a Hurtta too and love it!

I am a little biased as I babysit for the Fetching Tags dogs but I adore the tags and that company. Not only does Jen heavily support rescue, every tag she has is made incredibly well and has a lifetime warranty. Expensive, yes, but when they last a lifetime...

I know lots of FL people who use Walkeez. All good, as far as I know.

This. My girls do have ComfortFlexes but Baxter wears a Walkeez. The CF fit him very weirdly and he had to be constantly adjusted (by my chiro) around his shoulders. It fit really tightly around his shoulders, but loose around his chest. The CFs fit the girls better but they very rarely wear...

Contact Melissa over at Border Collie Rescue of Minnesota (http://www.bcrofmn.org). I'm sure she would be willing to courtesy list Lucy on her website. She adopts out a LOT of sport dogs nationwide and is well known for having good prospects. The right people do look to her website and Petfinder...

I have a '99 Toyota 4Runner and a friend has a '98 4Runner. I love my car. You can fit two bigger crates (two 36s or a 42 in the back and a 36 sideways behind the front seats). I've never had any problems with it besides the normal tire change, oil changes, etc. I don't get great mileage but...

For every day use, Baxter wears a Ruffwear Headwater collar (some kind of rubber material) and the girls wear plastic collars from Gun Dog Supply. We go hiking/swimming every day and need collars that are waterproof and stinkproof. Nylon collars start looking and smelling really gross quickly. I...

I have several Pacos and love them. They have been through the ringer and still look good. Studs have fallen off of every collar though, but they are more than willing to send you more studs/rhinestones or you can send the collar in to be repaired. Ana has come a couple times to Atlanta to teach...

Like Shai said, it's a process and often the first couple are really difficult. People do know now that I take in working breeds (mainly Border Collies, Malinois, and Dutch Shepherds) and place them accordingly. Obviously, not all the dogs I rescue want to work, but I luckily have the...

In about two years, I've placed 22 rescue dogs into very active, performance homes. Most have been placed here in Georgia, with only three going out of state. Like other people have suggested, people have to see the dogs to get interested. I only foster one at a time because I take my dogs, plus...

Vex's x-rays. Looking good on the outside and the inside ;)

I have a lot more pictures but here are some from today. It's Ziva's first birthday so we celebrated with a hike (and pictures...). Where's the ball... Got it Photobombing while I'm testing out the lighting. It's so her - waiting for the next direction with a ball in her mouth...

I've never been really good at keeping up with forums but at the high recommendation of Falon, I decided to try. Thought I'd share some pictures of the dogs. All three Baxter came first, found on the side of the road as an older puppy (6 months). I was a new-ish dog owner (had a...

I'm Maggie, the one who pulled Vex from the shelter and had him a couple weeks. A great boy. For those that aren't friends with Falon on FB, here are some more pictures...
