Thanks for all the great photos and stories. Dogs are great!
I didn't put her in my original post but here's Peggy, a smooth haired fox terrier cross from a local rescue centre, lost her in June just before getting Charley. Had her almost 8 years, She was about 14 when she passed away. The most character of any dog I have ever met. Quite cantankerous at times but always loving (to us). Still miss her.
A great bunch of pics! We're looking round rescue homes at the moment, fingers crossed we can find a youngish dog soon.
Great photos.
I'd love another dog, been thinking of getting a rescue, but finding it hard convincing the other half!
Fantastic happy dog pics - particularly in love with sky and ickle Charlie! 
Dreaming of having a dog, but need to sort out work circumstances first. .. will have to make do with playing with friends' dogs for a while longer.

Ours came from Cardiff pound 4 years ago. Her mother had been tied to the gates and the staff arrived for work to find the litter waiting for them. Ours was the only one left, due to a manky (technical!) leg. Mrs Mog is a sucker for a sob story so she was ours. Comes everywhere with us - great on car journeys, with our baby, with the cat & chickens. Fine with visitors. Supposedly a collie/lab cross, but I guess she's 'just a dog.'
A little long-winded but got there in the end!!
Mog,fantastic 2nd photo there!
Just imagining her looking up at you thinking "Thanks for rescuing me,i'd never have seen this view otherwse"
Ha! Yeah - either that or plotting the quickest way off Snowdon to get into the lake!!
Goon - we've got two Greyhound Gap dogs too (and one that came from Freecycle!)
Selwyn, Angel and Megan. We think there might be a braincell amongst them somewhere.
Taken in 2005 the pic of my parents rescue dog, theve had her 10 years this year and she was another ncdl (dogs trust) dog.
Before carrie we had 2 springers and a bearded collie all rescue.
Last year I talked about getting a rescue dog for us, and we ended up with brian:
But were now on the hunt for a rescue dog as well, just need to find the right one that will fit in with the family including brian
Spencer - we were his 3rd home at 16 weeks. He's a bit neurotic but we wouldn't be without the little fella. I'm biased but he's the best dog in the world
"whippet/staffie cross . . . he can't half run"
does he run at half the pace of a whippet and twice the speed of a staffie ;O)

My last rescue dog Cookie (waiting until a job arrives for a new one).

14 week old Lab we have called her Bracken, she is great
How do I upload from fotopic?
heres mine
Ahoy there vdubber67, didn't realise there were other Gap dogs on here. Great to see them!
Alfie,
Meet Monty. We rescued him from a back yard he had the pleasure to live in for 8 months. The house was being done up and nobody lived there. The only contact he had was somebody coming to feed him when they remembered!
The owner did let us take him, he wasn't that bothered about him.
He's a working cocker spaniel and has a mental nose! Always off following it whilst not listening to us. He is getting better at coming back but he has spent the 1st year of his life with no interaction with dogs or people, so he is making up for lost time!
We have had him 4 months now and he is a star.
Given up at 13 weeks, turned one today. From this:
to this:
And his older brother, given up aged 9, wiil be 11 next month.
He's a financial drain. Had a behaviourist out to him. Dog class, presciption food, seraquin, metacam, hydrotherapy.... and worth every penny of it.
Missy. I am the third owner that I know about. Came to me frightened of her own shadow. Pissed herself from fear every time she saw a man in a shell suit or baseball cap.
Missy at 1
Three years on, and a lot of hard work, she's a happy girl.

Kai, on the right, was left tied up on a roundabout, spent a short while with the dog warden then some months with dobermann rescue (DRA)
His left front leg has been broken and left unfixed at some point in his life and has developed some severe arthritis
I cannot believe someone paid a high price for a pedigree dog (docked/clawed) and gave him up so easliy.
disability doesnt affect him at all, arthritis is being held at bay by a daily dose of glucosamine
he loves life, every minute of every day.
Great to see so many fantastic dogs, all of which are now having good lives were they're getting the love and attention they deserve. So, a big up to all of you for taking on a rescue (or abondoned) dog, and giving them such a great life.
No pic's, (as he died 6 years ago, so pre digital camera days), but I was lucky enough to have found my dog (a long haired German Shepherd cross) abandoned on the streets over 20 years ago now. I had him for 16 years, and he was the most loving, loyal and faithful dog and I feel priviledged to have been able to spend so many years with him. Even though it's been 6 years since he died, I still miss him.
great pics. my favourites are backhander and mog (the 1st one - i know that expression well from our old dog, the sheer panic / excitement of a stone or stick about to be thrown...).
Nuttiest dog has to be carbon337's.... coiled... spring(er)...
Bracken, we have had her for two days, getting a little cheeky now!
Thanks Jimmy!
I got Bear at 9 months from Bath RSPCA. We was on 2 yellow cards for being naughty (1 away from being put down!). It's been a long hard road and we've had some "issues" along the way but he's an absolute pleasure and so affectionate.
Bear and dad go walkies.
Bear making friends
Just had a pup turn up at the door, no collar and having phoned the police its the 4th mystery dog today, time of the year I spose.
Think i'll have to drop it at the station we already took in an extra cat before xmas, and with the other cats and the dog weve got a line has to be drawn. Just hope it'll be alright.
Just took these two of Bracken, she is a bit sleepy!
Some great dogs on here
This is Sumo; half husky, half shepherd, all dipsh*t. I was 'selected' by him at the Dogs Trust in Leeds about three years ago. Funniest, most loyal dog I've ever owned. Useless in anything other than snow. Not a cycling dog by any stretch. Frightened of rabbits, goats, cats, and especially nervous of the bike in the back of the van when cornering.
Couldn't be without him.
Heres a couple more;
MOG: can I ask where you are?
looks amazing
What tyres for my dog?
