Favourite quotes

[snowbunny]

I want to make some memes for my shelter photography, like this one:



Hit me with your favourite dog quotes, and you get extra bonus points if they're applicable to giving a shelter dog a home.

I want to avoid "adopt don't shop" themes because I think that's nonsense (firstly because ethical breeding is commendable and secondly, people "shop" from shelter organisations, too), but anything along the lines of giving these dogs a future etc.

 

[Jacqui-S]

The classic "A house without a dog is not a home"

 

[Sophiedoodle]

“Dogs can speak, but only to those who know how to listen”

“Love at first bark”

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself”

“Life is better with a dog”

I also like “as soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen” although not strictly dog related!

 

[Jacqui-S]

And "You can't buy love, but you can rescue it" or "My favourite breed is Rescue"

 

[Sophiedoodle]

“You can’t change a dogs past, but you can rewrite his future”

“Not all homes should have a dog, but all dogs should have a home”

“When I needed a hand, I found your paw”

“you can’t buy love, but you can rescue it”

 

[Loraseal]

My favourite (it was on a labrador puppy calendar bought on Hunter's gotcha day!!) is this:
"Dogs are our link to paradise."

These are excellent, thanks! Keep them coming! As well as any for older dogs in search of homes, too, because

This isn't a good one for what you want, but my favourite is a song lyric:

Religion is the smile on a dog

As a non-religious person who nonetheless has my own ideas of where we go and what it all means, this quote says it all about where I find my own 'religion' or beliefs about what is important: the smile on a dog. Of course Edie Brickell may have had something entirely different in mind!

When my first Rottie Duncan died, I had this engraved on the outside of a ring, with his name and life dates on the inside.

“as soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen”

I LOVE this one! I'm stealing it!

 

[Jacqui-S]

Never too old to be loved

Rescued a human today

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Never too old to be loved

True love doesn't have an age

Love is ageless

True love isn't counted in years

Are you ready to be rescued?

(just trying to think of some others going off of Jac's)

 

[HAH]

@Jacqui-S and @Sophiedoodle are you two writing these?! If so, I think there's a career in it

One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why.
