Hi, my name is Yvette, I live in WA state.
A friend referred me here and I made an account but didn't get around to the intros, so figured now is as good of time as any :)

We have a dog rescue here in WA, it is me, my husband and kids, and and a few very dedicated volunteers.
Before that, I worked as an ACO in the town we live in, and I'm still a certified ACO, I just don't work at it now (or at least not for money ;) )
We've actually been rescuing for some 9yrs. but didn't do it "formally", that is, with a name and everything, until this past 4yrs. or so.

I have three kids, one lives in NY and had a baby last fall, making me a grandma, my other two are at home and are 18 and 15. They help out a lot with the rescue, which is great, they love to be involved.

Let's see - we have a rescued parrot named Zazu, some rescued goats and some we purchased, an assortment of Chickens, some rescues, 2 rescued horses, and many dogs (of course). We have 4 Dachshunds, a Sheltie, a GSDxDutch Shepherd, and a Boston Terrier mix, and one cat, an orange tabby named Sgt. Tibbs.

Life is busy, but good :)

Oh, here's a link to our page on PF,
A Paw Up Rescue

And, our dog family can be seen here,

Thanks for allowing me to be here!

Oh I can do that!!! :cool:
My son just loves Zach. If we had 400 acres (or more) I'd keep him around, he's a terrific dog!

AG, Luke would match your Lestat perfectly!

oak, sometimes I wish we could clone dogs because they become so popular (on our petfinder site), but rescue rarely works that way, sadly enough!

Glad to see you here! I think that you will like it here!

Have you posted Zach on Facebook? How could I have missed him??

I think I did!
But I just took it down so you'd have to check wall pics.
He's a handsome boy isn't he? I haven't had ONE inquiry on him yet.

Not one?

I still haven't decided if I want a Belgian or a Collie for the next dog. Then you keep finding all these cool rescues. I might just have you send me something cool looking with a fabulous temperament :rofl1:
