Our story began on April 30, 2009. Mommy was running errands and happened to spot two spunky little puppies playing under a truck in a parking lot. It was an unusually hot day, and we were just trying to keep cool. She spotted a basket on the front porch of a nail salon, along with a bowl of kibble that looked like it had been sitting there for a while. Immediately she went and scooped us up; we gave her lots of kisses. Our Mommy's mommy went into the nail salon and asked the lady if we belonged to her... she said that her son gave us to her, but "you can do what you want with them".

We didn't get put back down.

Now, 2 years later, we are happy, healthy, and filled with more spunk than Mommy can handle. She's threatened us with boarding school, but we know that she's only kidding. We have a wonderful home! We love our basset siblings! Best of all, we've taught Mommy what it's like to save the life of an animal. Mommy has always supported animal shelters and rescues, but now that we are around, she views them in a new light.

We think that rescuing a pet from an animal shelter or rescue is one of the greatest things a person can do! Their are lots great dogs, cats, rodents, and birds in shelters all over the world that deserve to have a great home just like us! Right this moment, there are hundreds of thousands of animals just waiting for someone to come and give them a forever home!

Here is a poem that we wrote in honor of the wonderful people who have supported shelters and rescues:

Thank You

Thank you for speaking for us,
when we can not defend ourselves.
Thank you for always being around
to offer food, love, shelter, and hope.
Thank you for fighting to protect us,
and working to give us a better life.
Thank you for treating us with compassion,
when we can no longer fight.
Thank you for fighting for justice
when someone treats us wrong,
and thank you for rescuing us,
from a life full of loneliness and pain.
