Proof that rescues are the best breed, hands down

Anyone who’s ever adopted a rescue dog knows there’s nothing like the moment when the pup finally, officially becomes part of the family.

And there’s nothing quite like taking a newly adopted dog home for the very first time.

But adoption day is just the beginning of life with a rescue dog.

Adopting a rescue dog means you’re in for a lifetime of laughter.

And she’ll never forget that you’re the one who gave her a forever home.

A rescue dog will love every member of the family …

… no matter how small.

Adopting a rescue means waking up to slobbery kisses every morning.

Adopting a rescue means being together through the good times …

… and the not-so-good times.

Rescues are the best breed because they come in all shapes and sizes.

And a rescue dog will always give you a shoulder — or a belly — to lean on.

But most of all, rescuing a dog means you know you’re giving an animal the home he truly deserves … and that’s the best feeling in the world.
