This is Sierra, my rescue dog from the Tulsa Humane Society in 2002. She was six months old when I got her in March 2002, and I liked to think her birthday was 9/11, with ONE good thing happening on such a terrible day. She lived 16 ½ years with me, and always loved to squeak toys and would do the “turbo run” around the living room until arthritis slowed her down. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge December 1, 2017, while I held her in my arms.This is Sierra, my rescue dog from the Tulsa Humane Society in 2002.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Thursday is National Rescue Dog Day!
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) over 3 million dogs go into US shelters every year, waiting for forever homes.
These furry friends can offer protection, love, and comfort. Some can even be trained to be service or emotional support animals.
If you are looking to ease into dog ownership, get involved with a local shelter, they can always use volunteers.
If you have a rescue dog in your life, you can celebrate the day using #NationalRescueDogDay.
