Is it really #NationalRescueDogDay?

Well, it’s time for a thread! All my bebes are shelter dogs. They are precious to me—I honestly don’t think I could love them more. They’re the GOODEST girls. #DogsOfMastodon +

This is Tia Marie. She was 2 when I adopted her—she already had a name, so we kept it. She’s our oldest, & she’s very Yoda-like. A grand old dame to whom all the dogs defer. She has 2” long legs & loves vegetables. 🥰 #NationalRescueDogDay #DogsOfMastodon +
This is Toutou. She’d been at the shelter too long & wasn’t doing well, so they featured her on the local news one night. I was at the shelter when they opened the next morning. She’s about 10 now, neurotic af, insanely sweet & affectionate, & loves to be carried around like a baby. ❤️ #NationalRescueDogDay #DogsOfMastodon +
This is Teddi. She is part pibble, part German Shorthair, & part pug. When she’s super happy or excited, she gets Krazy Pug Eyes, & it is hilarious. She & I utterly adore one another, but I think she adores my son even more. If she had her way, she’d do nothing but eat & snuggle. Oh—& lick my knees. She loves to lick my knees. I don’t know why. ❤️ #NationalRescueDogDay #DogsOfMastodon +
This is Timba. She’s Belgian Malinois, Husky, & Shar Pei. She & her brother had survived parvo, but their mama hadn’t. I met her in a PetCo parking lot one Sat morning when I was just trying to go to Marshalls. Instead of buying flip-flops, I ended up adopting a GIANT puppy. She loves Mr. Boots w/ the heat of a thousand suns, & they’re so precious together. ❤️ /end #NationalRescueDogDay #DogsOfMastodon
@BootsChantilly Beautiful puppy! Thanks for rescuing her! 🥰
@BootsChantilly that face that blep 😍
@BootsChantilly 😍 Look at that exquisite blep! 👌
@BootsChantilly Ooohhh I never knew about the Shar Pei! 🤩😍
@HeatherTX Yes, a teeny bit of Weimaraner, too. But very little. This is one of her younger half-siblings (on Daddy’s side)!
@BootsChantilly awwwww infinite blessings to you both!!!!!
@BootsChantilly She’s the spitting image of Ginger, my dog growing up. Only change is where Toutou is black Ginger was brown. Toutou looks so happy.

@madrobin Aaaw!!! 🥰

I’ve seen a couple of brown Toutous—the other day, I saw a blonde one. Terriers are so adorable. ❤️
