I appreciate photography that captures emotions. Photography by Tierney offered to take photos of my foster dog Cosmo, and I could not say no to that generous offer! Tierney hopes her photos will help Cosmo get adopted. After seeing these shots, I don’t know who wouldn’t want to adopt “The Big Fluff,” as she calls him. I [...]

Most people have good intentions when it comes to caring for dogs, cats and other creatures. As expected, there were different opinions on whether or not dog shelters make it too difficult to adopt. I listened to these opinions. Most of us love dogs, so we help them in the ways we know how. For [...]

11/29/11 edit: Harvey has been adopted! After looking at this sweet face, how can you tell me you are not in love? I spent just a half-hour running around West Fargo with Harvey, but I began to convince myself I needed a second foster dog. Of course, I know better. But you could foster him! [...]

Cosmo is a beautiful dog, and many people come to meet him during adoption events. However, Cosmo hasn’t been adopted because of his age and because he is nervous around kids. To me, Cosmo is an extra special and loving dog. He is the best-behaved foster dog I’ve ever had. He is the perfect companion. [...]

I follow and support the movement to end all killing of adoptable U.S. pound and shelter animals. I wish all pet owners would support this idea. However, a driving force behind the no-kill philosophy is to disprove the pet overpopulation myth. And that is the piece many shelter and rescue workers refuse to accept. It’s easy [...]

One hour I’m spooning Cosmo on the living room floor. The next my heart rate goes up as he growls at a neighbor dog, again. Embarrassing. This is life with Cosmo. Whoever ends up adopting this snowball will be getting a real character! Sure, he has a bit of an “attitude.” But that’s what makes him Cosmo. [...]

What is a good home for a dog or a cat? I believe my pets have a good home. Ace, Beamer and Scout get daily attention from me. They all eat grain-free, natural food. They go to the vet when they are sick. They are neutered. I never leave them home for more than eight [...]

Dog rescue organizations and shelters know they have to define their limits and stick to them. If they don’t, they end up with too many animals. When resources are stretched too far, each individual dog does not get the care he deserves. On a smaller level, those of us who foster dogs and cats until they [...]

I doubt I will buy a puppy from a breeder unless the dog will be used for some specific kind of work. I am interested in buying a protection dog, for example, and it will not come from a shelter. People will criticize this decision. But I have made the choice never to judge anyone by [...]

Sometimes I foster dogs and cats that are up for adoption with rescue groups. To foster an animal means to provide it with a loving home until it gets adopted. I usually post my foster animals on Craigslist one time each as a way to get more attention to them. Do you think it’s a good [...]
