Here’s the first pic I took of little Omar back when we met him at the rescue shelter.  To think that this guy was literally only a few hours away from being put down, nearly breaks my heart.  Sure, he can be a handful at times, and we’ve still got some more training to do.  But he’s come a long way in the short time that we’ve had him, and we’re so incredibly grateful to have him in our lives.

If you’re thinking about getting a pet, I seriously can’t encourage you enough to consider rescuing an animal.  There are just so many “Omars” out there needing a good home that the last thing we should be doing as a society is breeding more pets, which directly results in other animals then having to be euthanized.  The internet is littered with different rescue groups, so it’s never been more convenient to find a pet to your liking, and the Humane Society is also a great place to start your search as well.
