That brings tears to my eyes.  I wholly applaud what you're doing to help these poor defenseless animals.

We lost our dog in March.  We brought him home from a rescue centre when he was 16months old and he had 10 happy years with us.  He was a bit unruly to start but we took him to obedience classes and he was the loveliest pet/friend anyone could ask for.

He had a big scar under his chin that we have no idea how it happened though we suspect he was kicked and badly treated previously.  But despite this, he had so much love to give.

I have to stop typing now.... can't see throught the tears
