I use to be a rescue family for dogs waiting for adoption. I loved it and like to help as many dogs as I possibly can. My son who helps me got his picture in the newspaper for his efforts. I have always had a dog through out my life and currently have a Besenji which looks like a small terrier. I rescued his and for the first 2 days that we had him he wouldn't let us touch him. Now that has all changed. We cant say the word "Beach" in front of him unless we are ready to go. He loves it so much so we try to take him at least 4 times per week depending on our schedules. My son is 25 and also loves dogs. He has all the energy in the world to keep up with any active dog
