  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.

While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.

He's our rescue. He has some PTSD/anxiety issues from his past life, so he's on Prozac. Based on his teeth, the vet thinks he is between 4 and 6 years old. Based on how he moves around like an old man, I'm inclined to think he's closer to 6.

He loves his "love is love" rainbow fleece.

My fur baby gets on the furniture too. I try to keep it covered too, but it happens occasionally that it's not due to laundry, etc. No biggie, and I understand when people don't allow pets ion furniture. It's just an extra brownie point in my mind when they do.
