There are few things I find more upsetting than animal or child cruelty. I can't even bear to watch the adverts asking for donations to help keep some of the poor abandoned animals.
We have 3 dogs and 2 cats and both cats and two of the dogs were rescue animals.The golden retriever had really suffered in the 4 years before we got her, and she is so docile and sweet,it breaks my heart to think of what she has been through.I am amazed that her temperament is so good considering her life.
