Hi all,

Let's see...I moved to Portland, OR with my husband six months ago, which is the 8th time zone I have lived in since I was 19 years old (I'm now 34 and no, I wasn't in the military, I just can't seem to stop wanting to see new places). We have been involved with dog rescue for the last 3 years, first in Minneapolis and now in Portland. Most of the rescue I have done has been with bully's. We have a lab mix named Freida and a pit mix named Dexter-the later was a failed foster situation. Dexter acts out his seperation anxiety or boredom by chewing his feet. It got to be such a problem in his first home that they wanted to put him to sleep (idiots!) and in his second home they wanted to amputate. When he came to us through rescue a year ago we thought enough already, he's not going anywhere else. The best cure we have found is giving him lots of love and attention, and putting a plastic lampshade collar on him when we leave! (fortunately he doesn's seem to mind).

We will be getting a new foster dog today. I look forward to posting pictures and telling the world about her!

Pit Bulls know they are THE face of extinction. All that remains is where they make their final stand. Say NO to BSL!
