More: These two are rescues. They are beautiful yes, but first and foremost I belong to a rescue. Stella came from Craigslist believe it or not. I always look on Craigslist pets and forward labs to my mentor. Stella, however stole my heart, mainly because she reminded me of the 17 year old yellow lab that we fostered last year. Snowy became widely known and he stole our hearts. He lived for just over a year with our 12 year old black lab Bear. They both died in November. Now, I’ve accepted the crazy challenge of raising two rescue puppies. Ruthie also came from my rescue. They have helped redirect our sadness into helping more dogs.
