Faith is an incredible dog. She was born just before Christmas in 2002, and we were lucky enough to have her in our family just 3 short weeks later. She was born to a mother dog, believed to be nearly full blooded Chinese Chow Chow, along with several other siblings. Faith wasn't the only puppy born with deformities, but because "Princess", her mother, was not our dog, we are not sure of the exact number of puppies she gave birth to. It is certain, however, that Faith was the only puppy with deformities to live.

Faith was rescued by my son Reuben on January 21, 2003, when he and his friend Johnny, the owner of Princess, jumped over the fence of the flea market area that Princess was raised to guard. Princess isn't exactly the mothering kind. She was literally terminating Faith's life because she knew instinctively that Faith was unable to battle the other puppies for a place to feed. Faith was weak, small, runtish, and mostly she was nearly dead. Reuben grabbed Faith out from under Princess and smuggled her under his jersey. He wore #63 for the Putnam City Pirates football team.

When Reuben brought Faith to us she had 3 actual legs, but the left front leg was badly deformed, placed backward, upside down, and it had more toes on it than normal dog legs. The leg was removed when she was 7 months old when it began to atrophy. People ask me if it was easy to teach Faith to walk upright...the answer is NO! It was not easy, and it was not natural. It was SUPER natural, and therefore, we have to give all of the credit to Jesus. Of course, it took a little....Faith as well.

About Dogster and Catster

We are dog freaks and computer geeks who wanted a canine sharing application that's truly gone to the dogs. Such a site didn't exist, so we built it ourselves. The fluffy love is backed with serious technology and years of coding experience under our collars. Dogster has since become more contagious than kennel cough.

Since launching in January 2004, Dogster.com (and its sister site Catster.com launched in August, 2004) have become the fastest growing pet destination on the internet and are now a top-five overall pet destination. Now serving over 4 million photos for over 600,000 uploaded pets by 750,000 members, Dogster and Catster serve more than 22 million pages a month to over three quarters of a million visitors.

Faith the Dog Visits Petco for National Adopt-an-Animal Day

In Good Faith — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:44:41 +0000

Faith and I took Reuben with us to PETCO #1491 in Ft. Worth, TX this past Saturday to help celebrate National Adopt-an-Animal Day as well as to help the great C.A.R.E. team find homes for their dogs and cats too.

C.A.R.E. brought about ten animals to PETCO and placed two I believe, a dog and a cat.

Reuben was certainly the most popular guy there. Those who follow Faith's story were absolutely thrilled to see Reuben in person! One woman stated she thought she'd never be able to contain her joy for having met Faith, but also seeing her original rescuer in person. She was so proud of Reuben and his military service. Her son served in the Army for 11 years.

I'd say we saw just over a hundred people at the store. Many donations were made both to help the rescue efforts in Haiti as well as a couple of animal shelters that really need our help.

Everyone at PETCO was just so wonderful - - Faith, Reuben, and I thank PETCO and C.A.R.E. for inviting us to come out and hang around for the afternoon.
