Hagar is my special rescue guy, he was running wild in Woodford County, in Illinois, and was seen being hit by a car one day by a county officer, it took 3 days to finally track him down, and he gave the animal control officer a run for her money. When she finally caught him his was still able to walk (in fact run) and she delivered him to a local vet for safe keeping for the 10 day wait period, then either he is adopted, rescued or euthanized. To give a little insight on the latter, the local vet he was delivered to was told to provide minor medical treatment, though the county refuses to provide even basic medical care. This vet is known for putting down all strays, wanting the money from the 10 days and the euthanization fees. Pretty sad really.

Why I Decided To Volunteer To Rescue Aussies
My story begins about 2 years ago. I have a Chow-Collie mix named Cruise, beautiful guy, sable coat, with an extremely bushy tail, and black tongue. He is smart as a whip, and it gets him in more trouble because he is so analytical. Catches mice, birds, rabbits, chipmunks, you name it, his yard is his place and no other wild critter allowed.
