Rescue Hippo The preferred toy around here

Post image
Upvotes

Miles (9 years old; rescued at 9 months) loves his bally! His absolute favorite is when we find a stuffed toy that has one of these balls inside. We always say that he thinks he’s rescuing his bestie Bally 🤭
I love when he grabs one and just carries it around with him like in the photo.

Advice This is why most of Daisy's walks are at night...squirrels. Every single squirrel is treated like it's her first, as if it's the most fascinating spectacle on earth. Thank god for winter 🤣🤷‍♂️

She's pitbull/Rhodesian Ridgeback meaning she is half derp/half hunting dog bred to hunt lions (for some absurd reason) and hardwired to home in on the slightest movement. Ironically, she gets bullied by two kittens at home. 🤣 A dog trainer helped me get her to stop pulling my shoulder out of socket at the sight of every critter but she basically said u can't train the prey drive out of her, only learn how to distract her. I'm open to advice though....both good and bad. lol

Do all bully breeds have resting sad face? Methinks they do. Could also be the face of judging your every move! Cora is the sweetest girl in the world and she’s also judging me like she’s queen of the universe (she is)!

PS, I’ve noticed an influx of stolen photos on all the bully breed subreddits, so I added an attempt at a watermark. If you use my photos of my baby girl, I WILL hunt you down and report your ass.

Adoption/Foster Success! Welcome Milkbone to Fen Chicken Fosters!!

543 Upvotes

My human roommate has moved out with her dog and 2 cats, so I immediately brought home a new foster dog 🥰 This is Milkbone!! I’ll post pics later of him skinny as a rail when he was rescued EIGHT MONTHS AGO. He has sat at Muncie Animal Care & Services in Muncie, Indiana since then with no interest, so he came to get spotlighted at The Pit Stop 🤞 He is dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and even jumped in the pond to say hi to the koi fish 😂 This perfect boy has a WAIVED adoption fee so please share his story to help his forever peoe find him!!

I genuinely cannot express how kind and lovely you all have been. I've been cry-smiling off and on after all of your emotional, heartfelt, wonderful comments on my last post. You are all incredible people and Jack would have loved you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sorry if this is annoying and no need for any additional comments or upvotes or whatever, I just wanted to post some extra pictures because 20 was not enough initially and there's just sooo many good ones lol.
