What happens to your dog before you got him/her? If known, where were they born? How many owners did they have? You can add anything you want.
Zane (my parent's dog): Was born in the spring of 2008 on the bad side of a nearby town. Someone had tied fireworks around the necks of the puppies and lit them. All but two where killed. A kind lady found them and took them to a nearby vets clinic. She had them boarded there for several weeks until they where old enough to be adopted. She ended up having to take the Zane and his sister to a shelter in our town after attempting without success to find a home for them. We brought him home in July of that year.
Abby: Was part of a litter born in November 2008 to a street dog in the same city as Zane. We adopted her at 8 weeks old from animal control services at an adoption event.
Deputy: Was born in 2007 and ended up in a high kill shelter in a small town. A lady who fosters for a rescue pulled him the day he was to be PTS. She kept him for several years, but ran into financial trouble and had to re home him. I adopted him in 2010.
Kieber: Was estimated to have been born in October of 2013. He was found by a woman and her son running free along a busy road. I adopted him last February.
Past dogs:
Nina: A b&w Sibe my parents adopted in 1996 (I was 6). She was brought in with a suspected Wolf hybride (this dog was HUGE), who ended up being PTS after he attacked the soldier who adopted him. We had Nina for about a year before my parents got tired of her issues and took her to a Husky rescue.
Nala: A tri-colored small mix from a petstore in 1997. My mom looked in the window and saw this cute tri-colored puppy staring at her. Nala was the only one awake and she did the "paw to the window" and my mom was hooked. She passed in 2008.
Chance: A chow X my dad's coworker gave to him in 1999. The lady owned Chance, his mom and several of his siblings. After the mom accidentally hung her self on her tether, the woman re homed them all (they reminded her of the mom). My parents rehomed him in 2001 since we had to move and he had way too many behavior issues for them to handle.
Chevy: A Choc lab X we adopted in 2004. She was a present to a teenage girl from her boyfriend. Boyfriend broke up with her and Chevy was relegated to the backyard. When we got her she was skinny and covered in ticks. She was PTS in 2011 due declining health (vet estimated she was over ten).
