Cali was bought from a BYB (bad) and in a way I feel I rescued her. She was so sick the first 8 months I had her I spent 8,000.00 in vet bills. I think a lot of people would have had to give her back or give her up due to the cost. Pixie and Roxie were from a good breeder. Nikki was a rescue that an elderly lady I became friends with adopted and couldn't afford his care. I took care of his expenses and then his owner had a stroke (and later passed away) and I took Nikki. That was 20 months ago. At that time my vets thought he was 18 years old. He is almost blind, has no teeth but is still enjoying life. |
