Last month when we had National Black Dog month we had very few dogs of that color. What a difference a few weeks makes. Black Dog Syndrome, and isn’t it a shame there’s a name for it, is a phenomenon where black dogs are passed over for adoption in favor of lighter-colored animals. We are [...]
Some of you are the quintessential dog parent while others took longer to settle into the role. Either way, you might be at that point where you’re thinking it might be time to add another dog into the mix. There’s no formula for if and when a second or third dog is right for you [...]
Giving is not restricted to one day nor is it only about money. Money is how we pay rent and transport fees, and vet visits and spay and neuter surgery among many, many other things. But then there's the kind of giving that helps our dogs in such a way that the tears flow [...]

I finally figured out all those people posting dog pictures and telling dog stories all over the Internet. It took me getting a dog before I understand how much dogs change our lives and our health. It's true. Spending quality time with a dog can have a positive impact on your mood and your [...]
We love all dogs and we know that all dogs are capable of giving and receiving love and can make excellent companion animals. We also love adopting from rescues instead of from breeders when there are too many dogs out there who need homes. There are outstanding and reputable breeders out there but most people [...]
