But it can have huge benefits ‒ for you and for your new pooch. We asked our Facebook readers to share their stories of their rescue dogs, and we loved reading your stories and seeing your adorable photos.
Photos We ve compiled this photo gallery and here we re sharing 10 of our favourite stories: 1. Hayley Scrivener: Polly, now five or so years old, rescued from Queensland Staffy & Amstaff Rescue at approximately six months old. She s the first dog I ve ever owned or had in my life. She s my best friend, she follows me everywhere. I try to take her with me everywhere I go, she s pretty well behaved! I couldn t imagine life without Polly.
