Hi, I'm Lynne and I am a dog-a-holic. I love my dogs and they are the center of my world. I have teenaged twin boys, a husband who is a computer programmer for the army and a volunteer fireman, here in our town. I am also a teacher of Social Studies at an Inner City high school.
I spent many hours, a few years ago, researching canine nutrition as my beloved standard poodle died because of tainted dog food during the 2007 recalls. I now homecook for my pack as I didn't like all I learned about dog food companies, here in the US.
I also have a passion for rescue. I don't believe people should breed dogs when so many die in shelters because there aren't enough homes for them all. I started a Rescued Group on another forum and it got so much attention and so big, that we decided it needed it's own home, and this site was born. I foster dogs from shelters until I find them Forever Homes and crosspost dogs needing rescue on Facebook.
Friends I met on that other forum and I worked very hard to make this site a reality. Sadly, personalities and problems caused some of us to go our separate ways but this site will continue to educate, engage and hopefully help other's become as passionate as I am about ensuring a better life for rescued animals.
Next time, I'll tell you about my pack.

Introduce yourself, tell us your story and let's get to know each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Georgia - F1, goldendoodle, just over 2 years old and a 62 lbs lapdog.
Samantha - Aussiedoodle (Australian Shepherd - Poodle x), almost 2 years old, 50 lbs of attitude.
Abbey - Aussiedoodle, in fact, Sammie's half sister, 4.5 months old, 25 lbs of silly puppy.
Georgia is ball obsessed, I mean really ball obsessed, I have been considering therapy to help her (LOL). Needless to say George's favourite thing to do is fetch. Samantha and Abbey think fetch is stupid, and will never return the ball to you. But they love to be chased for the ball and, since they are both very agile (part Aussie), the chase game can last for some time. Sam & Abbey will give your face a bath if you get to close to them, George on the other hand no kisses but your lap is a great spot.
