If I were looking for a dog, I would definitely be going to a shelter or rescue to find my new best friend!  While I love purebreds, I can’t help but want to rescue a pup that needs a second chance at life.  One that has had a rough start and needs someone that will not hurt or abandon him.  Rescues have unconditional love to give…they just need a chance!   Today I saw the Extreme Canine Stunt Dog Show at the Fair.  All of the dogs performing in the show are rescues…..and they are amazingly talented.  Above are Petie and Spitfire Spinelli.  Petie (in red) is an Australian Cattle Dog mix and expert frisbee catcher!   He also runs agility at top speed!  Spitfire (blue) is very adept at frisbee catching and can jump rope – using only her hind legs!   The dogs were having a ball showing off their talents!  From rescue to super star ….. how cool is that?
