Meet Milo & Rylee!

Presenting our two dogs that we rescued from the Vancouver Pound....

Rylee (black) and Milo (black and white)

Name	Milo
Breed	Lab X Border Collie
Gender	Male
Date of Rescue	Sept. 16, 2005
Nickname	Milo monster
Age	~5 years
Hobbies	playing with rylee, napping in the sun, frolicking in the snow, sleeping on vince and izzy's clothes, going out for walks, chasing squirrels, sunbathing, running and up down the stairs.
Rescue Story	I was the one that Milo saw first and I realized what a handsome dog he was. He was sitting in his kennel and was not the type of dog that was vying for my full attention. We took a better a look at him and we got to know him better at the play area. Jenn, who is a volunteer at the pound, went over the expectations for first time dog owners and analyzed our living situation. She thought that Milo would be a perfect fit! We still wanted to wait a few more days just to think about it so....we did. But, when we went back, Milo was transfered to the Richmond SPCA. We were so heartbroken b/c we thought that we might have missed the chance of adopting him but we called Richmond and there he was. We got the paper work done and soon enough, he was in the back of our car, heading home. What an amazing feeling! It's been so wonderful to be able to give these dogs a new home to live....

Rescue Story	Rylee was one of those dogs that were brought back to the Vancouver Pound about four times which makes us to be her fifth owner. She wasn't doing so well at the pound so she had to live with one of the volunteers, Angelina. Vince fell in love with her and really wanted to have her as our second dog. We knew that it would a lot of work because we would have to earn her trust and affection as she's been abused before. She is getting along really well with Milo and they are even sharing the same bean bag now, and she likes to rest her head on his bum.
