Rescue a puppy...

"Big" and "Little"
or puppies!

I recently got an email from a friend. We play together in a soccer league in a different town 20 minutes away from home. After our soccer game this weekend as Aubrey was driving home she saw two cute puppies walking along the side of the street. Aubrey pulled over, greeted these puppies, looked for a form of identification on the dogs, and looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them. After determining that these puppies had no home, Aubrey put them in her car and took them home herself.

Aubrey's intention wasn't to keep these two cute, cute puppies. She wanted to rescue them from the streets.

Aubrey then sent a call for help...
"Do you know someone who has been thinking about adopting a dog and has been waiting for the perfect one? Well look no further, here are two!!

I found two of the most adorable puppies a few days ago. They have such great personalities! (I know, everybody says that, but it's true!) They are pretty mellow for puppies and are extremely affectionate. They look to be in good health and well cared for (except for the being lost on the street part)."

After rescuing the puppies Aubrey told others about them and asked friends to spread the word. She talked about the great personalities these puppies had, how caring and affectionate they were, and how easily they settled into their new home - with another dog friend!

In the end, Aubrey wasn't able to keep the puppies and didn't find a new home for them. However, she visited local Santa Monica shelters to see which might be the best temporary home for them. She encouraged anyone interested to go to the shelter to rescue them before their confinement in a small space with many other animals affects their sweet demeanor.

Aubrey left with this message...
Rescuing a dog is a rewarding experience, and these dogs are so young you will not be training them out of bad habits, you will be starting a great relationship for years to come. Thanks for considering saving a puppy!


Thanks for rescuing "Big" and "Little", Aubrey!

If anyone is interested in these puppies, I'll send you the information!

  1. I work with a dog rescue--Dogs Without Borders. You can send me the information and I can see if we could possibly foster or adopt them through our organization.
