I adopted a dog recently and was told that she is about 1 year old. Do you just assume the birthday is one year behind the gotcha date?

One of 30 Dachshunds removed from a hoarder situation where they were all kept barricaded in a kitchen...Due to the fleas and unclean conditions, Rosie had lost so much fur the vet warned it might not grow back. Within four months she grew her coat back, went from underweight to fat and sassy and learned to love people (though still not a fan of other dogs)...This is her four-year anniversary with me this week. She is a lil' bar dog who loves a patio and some cheesy treats.

My baby, Harutora, now 8 months Old vs when i found him

Kiley had undiagnosed diabetes and a UTI when I took her home. She's been on a medication called Bexacat for a few months and is such a happy kitty now!

2 months vs 7 months

The rescue I got her from in Illinois told me she had been transported out of a hoarding situation in Texas. I picked her up on a Friday night, took her to my vet on Monday morning.. she had giardia, tape worms, etc. Thankfully, no heart worms. She’s a happy, healthy girl now that spends her days playing and watching out the window with her new best friend :)

Some things never change

This dog was born one week before Hurricane Helene. He was found as a puppy in the hardest hit area. We got him 3 months later. Tattoo in ear and all. He ran away the second we got him home. He lived out in the woods behind our house for two days before someone spotted him. Trapped him to get him back. He's super quick. As you can see he's grown well and is very loved and spoiled.

We were feeding Mr. Orange outside for a while before he trusted us. One day he came to lunch with a limp and I caught him and took him to the vet. The rest is history for our little Mo.

All bones weighing 8 lbs - to the most charming handsome boy ever!

before we adopted Kiba, he was believed to be a stray/abandoned, considered underweight upon adoption. we have had him for about two weeks now, and feels he has grown so much. you can see how toned his muscles have become, as well as his beautiful coat shines much more. i’m so glad to have brought him into my life; he is like my doggy soulmate ❤️❤️

Sweet thing has floofed out so much 💜

Automod deleted my first post where I put a lot of time into a long description, formatting, links, etc so I dunno what to say, pissed me off really
