Santo (white & tan) and Halas (brindle & white) are both dogs rescued from pounds on their last day. While living in Los Angeles I volunteered for a dog rescue. I had helped drive many dogs for the rescue but when I went to pick up Santo my heart literally jumped and I knew she was the one for me. After 3 weeks I convinced my husband that she should become part of our family. That was in 2004 and 5 yrs later we are still blessed to have her in our lives.
In 2005 we moved to Fargo, ND and I still wanted to help rescue dogs, pitbulls in particular. I saw an email about a poor pitbull in a shelter that was closing. He was the last dog left in the shelter and they were desperate to find him a rescue. The dog was in MO but I figured we could get him transported and I could find him a home. He caught a ride to South Dakota and I got up at 3am to drive, get him and bring him back to Fargo. He was so thin and sad when he got into my car. He slept the whole drive back. My husband was laying on the couch when Halas and I came home. Halas crawled on top of him and gave him a big kiss and snuggled with him.Halas has been with us ever since. He and Santo are best friends and our lives are so much richer for having them as family members.
