We have practiced this for years. We have three collies; Champy came from a family divorcing and 'the dog has to go'. We got him at 10 months old, a week after we got a 9 week old, 'JJ', from a Central Indiana puppy mill. Our third, 'Patrick' came from a northern Indiana Humane Society shelter at about 9 months. Our fourth dog, Stevie Ray, came from the Boone County (IN) Humane Society. Our two thoroughbreds were race trained, one, having won $ 38K, was no longer useful, and the second had physical issues and never raced. Even our two cats came home from a barn, young enough that they never developed the feral mentality. One daughter has three dogs, all from difficult situations, one back-yard rescue, one found emaciated in a field, dumped, and the third literally traded for a Subway sandwich by a trucker who intended to dump the pup by the highway,'and let God determine'. The other daughter has a pitty who was a Katrina rescue, and three cats, one of which was in a litter found under a boat cover....

'The more I'm around people, the more I love animals'.!!

Present company excepted.
