How Did You Get Your Rescue Pet?

April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month so we're highlighting stories about pets we've saved. Share your stories about how you got your pet.

The ASPCA and rescues like it save millions of pets, and livestock animals, each year from starvation and abuse, so Plymouth Patch wants to know how you got your rescue pet.

We posted the question on our Facebook page and received several answers.

Heather Jones I rescued my double pawed cat George from a neighbor who never fed him and allowed her wild elementary aged kids put him in pillow cases and swing him around and throw it. Has him for about 3 years now.

Plymouth Patch I got my Penelope after my former neighbors threw her out of the house after she had kittens. It took weeks to catch her. Another neighbor got the kitten.

Marlene Roveto My Cody is a Potcake. He was born on the streets of Turks and Caicos. He was rescued by a great organization called Potcake place (http://www.potcakeplace.com or on Facebook Potcake Place K-9 Rescue.) A kind person volunteered as a courier to fly him to the States under her seat. We met at Logan and have been together ever since.
