Now that “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” is in theaters giving plenty of free advertising to puppy mills, pet shops and breeders just in time for the holidays, I thought it was time for a Chihuahua profile. Unfortunately, many people get this breed for the wrong reasons or without thinking it through. Just because a bag of [...]

Josh and I live with the mutt and two cats. Believe me, if I were single I would have at least one more cat by now. I have the potential to easily become the next crazy cat lady. But for now, it’s two people, two cats and one dog in a two-bedroom apartment. We’ll have [...]

Here are several ways to volunteer your time involving animals. 1. Walk shelter dogs. Most shelters don’t have enough staff to walk the dogs often. I try to walk dogs at a local shelter once a month. It’s hard to find the time, but the one I go to lets people stop by anytime throughout [...]

This is Matty. I have never featured a homeless pet before, mostly because I know there are thousands out there. How could it do any good if I post a cute photo and notes about just one dog? I’m not sure if this will help Matty or not. What I do know is this: There [...]
