I have become very picky about which dogs I will foster. I have no interest in a high-energy foster dog. I do not have the patience for kennel training. I do not have the right set-up for working through separation anxiety. I don’t have the energy for a puppy. I won’t take anything that’s aggressive towards [...]

Friends of mine recently bought a puppy. When I asked where they got her, the husband avoided eye contact and said “… we went to a breeder …” It was like he had committed a crime. Why are people so ashamed to say they bought a dog from a breeder?! One of the first questions [...]

I have been stalking one particular dog online for about two years now. I don’t think I’m alone here. Most dog lovers have their eyes on a certain rescue dog that for whatever reason they really, really want to adopt. Usually the deterrent is another family member, but it could also be a lease agreement [...]

You may have noticed I haven’t mentioned Morgan recently. That’s because after fostering him for two weeks, I made the difficult decision to stop fostering him. This was no fault of Morgan’s. He had a difficult time adjusting to my lifestyle, and I had a difficult time adjusting to his. One of the most rewarding [...]

Check out some photos of him below – he’s a gorgeous retriever mixed with possibly Newfoundland. Morgan is taller than Ace with twice the energy, but he reminds me so [...]

Volunteers involved in dog rescue are some of the most passionate, caring people when it comes to animals. But we can also be fiercely uncaring when it comes to the owners who surrender dogs. You can’t afford your dog? Here’s news for you: dogs cost a lot of money! You should’ve thought about that when [...]

I’m supposed to be on vacation right now. But I wanted to share three of my favorite dog videos. The first video, “GoD and DoG” was written, recorded and animated by Wendy Francisco. The video has been sent to me by more than one person (thanks Tawna and Mark!). I always replay it two or [...]

From time to time I take rescue dogs out running from the boarding kennels they live at. Most of these dogs are full of energy and anxious or excited when we pass people, other dogs, birds or squirrels. When I run with a calm, mellow rescue dog that doesn’t pull on the leash, I notice. [...]

All dog lovers want to adopt more dogs. Our significant others and family members have learned this the hard way. I know that at some point there will be a second dog in our household. This very day, week or month is not the right time, but that could easily change. My problem is not [...]
