Barkticles - Rescue Me!

Rescue Me!:

I apologize if this is not the Rescue Me that some of you were looking for. But it's the one that, in my opinion, is the most important.

Mutts are dogs that come from what some might call "uncertain heritage." But I like to think, even though I am a purebred dog myself (whatever that's supposed to mean), that a mutt is one of the finest dogs around. Some of my very best friends are mutts and I feel that I can safely vouch for their incredible resilience and, quite frankly, their manners. Some purebreds I have known tend more towards neuroses and temper than friendliness and the laid back attitude that many of my mutt friends display.

Poor fella! What an ordeal!

I just want to make sure to get the word out about this special furry fella, so he can get to be with his forever family soon. (Although, it sounds like his rescuer's family are pretty close to just keeping him with them. Can ya blame 'em? No. Not me either.)
