Glad to hear of another person rescues the "undesirables". I have had people walk up to me when I have the shepherd out and say "what a waste a shepherd with no tail" To which I always reply mind your own ****** business! Seriously though rescues always make the best dogs IMO as long as you are able to put the effort into them that they need. My wife an I have a long term goal once we are financially stable enough and our son is a little older to where he can work there and we plan on opening a rescue of our own for aggressive/abused animals.
