Since resigning from The "rescue," I have signed up with several other local rescues to foster. For me, that was always the best part of starting your own rescue, anyway. So, besides crossposting dogs looking for Forever Homes and Rescue here on this site and on Facebook, I thought, why not work with other rescues to continue fostering and doing what I do best.

I adopted your pet today...

The one you left at the pound,

The one you had for nine years

and no longer wanted around.



I adopted your pet today...

Do you know that he’s lost weight?

Do you know that he’s scared and confused

and has lost all faith?



I adopted your pet today...

He had fleas and a cold,

but don’t you worry none -

You’ve unburdened your load.



I adopted your pet today...

Were you having a baby or… Continue

If you start your research into Commercial Dog Food Companies, you begin to get sick. That a company would put some of the crap into the food we feed our family members is disgusting. Go on...do your own research. Do a search engine search like "What is in dogfood" and read some of the stuff that comes up. Pick up a copy of "Pet Food Politics" or "Food Pets Die For" and read the awful truth.



Homecooking is the logical alternative. Sure there are some good companies out there, making… Continue

Many times, myself and others have wondered how someone could give up a dog for rehome or worse abandon him in the wild or at a shelter. I know I could never do that. I would feed them before I ate. They would be happy to live in a cardboard box if they were with me.



When I was 19 to young 20's, I had a beautiful Samoyed named Chrystal. There were many times I was broke. I remember one Thanksgiving when I was alone in Daytona Beach, Florida. I lived in an $8.00 a night motel, no job… Continue

Lynne brought Finnegan over today as she thought it would be better for her to be here with him when he first saw his new home. It was great seeing him again, and Lynne too of course. I really admire the work she and Jackie are doing especially when you see how happy and special their rescued doodles are....Finnegan looked great! He gained a bit of weight these past couple of weeks and seems so happy.

I felt bad for him and Lynne after she left.… Continue

Well, it's finally happened......after years and years of loving and having animals I FINALLY know what it feels like to have a lapdog. Being a "big dog" lover I have always had large babies and never really experienced a true to form "lapdog" before. Over the years, all of my dogs have been a huge part of my life and heart, and have always been close by me wherever I may have been, but never in my lap......I now have a lapdog, although he's pushing 60 lbs.



I'm not sure if it's the… Continue

I am old enough to understand that most things in this world revolve around money. But I will never understand how making money at the expense of the suffering of others, especially the dogs and puppies in puppy mills, can be justified.



I knew Ginger came from a puppy mill in PA because Jodi told me. But until the Oprah Special and I started looking into it, I never really understood what a puppy mill really was.



The truth is that they are horrible, evil, nasty places that… Continue
