Rescued Pet Friends
Below is a gallery of beloved rescue pets from readers like you. Submit your own.
Rocky
Rocky was rescued as a kitten behind the now demolished Rock Garden Cafe in Palm Springs. He loves to run in front of our legs as we leave the house throwing himself in front of us over and over for belly rubs. He does this from the moment I grab the keys until we are out the door.
Tina Louise
Andy met Tina Louise in January 2021. It was love at first sight by both. Andy was inviting her home as Tina was saying take me home. She now greets all guests on arrival and they fall in love her, as it should be!
Maddie
When my 98 year old father moved in with us, Maddie knew her job right away. Never left his side until he passed away 8 months later. He said she is what kept him going. I’m forever grateful to Maddie as she was the perfect friend. She rescued me.
Meiosis
Mei was so scared at the shelter they thought she might be feral, but now she loves to snuggle more than anything else.
El Chapo Taco
El Chapo is the sweetest guy! At 90lbs, he acts like a tiny chi and will literally try to sit on your lap! He was dumped in Oakland Hills and rescued by lovely folks! I fostered him and now he lives with 2 dogs, 2 bunnies, hamster and a bird! He loves them all!!

- Adopted from: Off the streets
