My boyfriend and I decided a while ago that we wanted to adopt a third dog. Particularly, we wanted to find a dog that was rescued or came from a high kill shelter. Warren (being the craigslist king that he is) stumbled across an organization called DPS (Doggie Protective Services :). They rescue dogs from terrible situations (set to be put down, abandoned, etc.), foster them, and work dilligently on finding them loving homes.
DPS had a story about a breed of 1/2 husky 1/2 heeler pups that were found abandoned, in the wild, with absolutely no hair. A lady took them in and nursed them back to health using hydrogen peroxide mixture baths. Note: this was after she had taken them to vet and was told to put them all down.
Thank God (Buddha, Allah, or whoever) for this lady. We met all four pups and chose a sweet baby girl we ended up naming Mac to come home with us. She has been the most amazing addition to our family, and I am brought to tears when I think about all that she has been through in the short time she has been on this planet.

Our girl is the one on the far left.
Since this picture, all have been adopted into loving homes.
Mac hard at work with Daddy (:
We have the luxury of Warren working in a dog-friendly environment so that she does not have to be left alone at home.
Mac at Uvas Reservoir. She's a better swimmer than her big sisters!
