Pit bull-beagle mix? I’d love to see that! 
My pup’s a shelter rescue also, I’ve had him since July. He was a sweetheart at the shelter, but it’s amazing…in just over 6 months he’s a COMPLETELY different dog. He used to be so nervous, really terrified of men (pretty clear that he’d been abused), uninterested in other dogs and just glued to my side. I found out a week later that I’d adopted him a day before his time “ran out.” <—He was at a no-kill shelter, which basically means they keep the dogs as long as they can and then send them to another shelter to be destroyed. :doh:
Now…he’s still all over me, but he has so much personality! And it’s such a playful one. He loves other dogs, he’s almost completely overcome his fear of men, and he’s incredibly loyal to and protective of me. He keeps a watch over everything for me (when he’s not chomping through my stash of course! :teehee: ) This is my first dog as an adult…my family always had a great dog growing up, but Cooper is MY dog. I’m raising him, training him, etc…and I’m so content. I really lucked out with this guy, hooray for rescue dogs![/i]
