We have three dogs, Cafe, Latte, and Carly.  They are all rescue dogs.  Cafe and Latte are Chow/Lab mix sisters from Best Friends and Carly is a mutt of indeterminate origin from the Durham Animal Protection Society Pound.   They have all been great house pets and farm animals.

These are actually award-winning dogs, if you can believe it. See the NCSU Veterinary School Dog Olympics of 2011.
