This is the boy that got me started in rescue. I wasn't really involved in rescue when I was asked by a local Humane Society member if I would consider fostering a dog when his kill date arrived, he was at the County Pound. I said yes since I was toying with joining the HS and that's all she wrote. They were walking him back to the gas box when we called to say we were taking him, he literally was minutes away from death. When I picked him up (sight unseen) all I could do was smile. This big goofy dog, tongue hanging out of the side of his mouth seemed to know he had been spared. I fell in love at first sight! He has been with me ever since and that was in 2000. I figured if a dog as wonderful as this was about to be euthanized there must be more out there like him. Truer words were never spoken! Bear is my greeter dog, he welcomes the new dogs when they arrive and makes them feel at home.
