Many wonderful people open their homes to the victimized pets made famous by media reports, but close their hearts to the other animals in the shelter. Buddy is ugly. Really. He’s a good dog, a Shar Pei mix (OK, I admit, I’m no fan of Shar-Peis) with a bristly coat. He’s already neutered, walks well… Read More

    Hi Jodi,Kane was with us only for a short time. He died on his birthday of two years old, 4/1/08. This story is extremely painful. My daughter bought him online from a breeder in Texas. He was just born and, as he got off the plane, it was love at first sight. His… Read More

People always tell us how lucky Gracie is to have been adopted by my husband and me, but we know that we are the lucky ones.  Three years ago I was more heart-broken than I ever imagined I would be, when my 13 year old English Bull Terrier, Madison, died.  I never thought another dog… Read More
