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 [...]

Note: This is a guest post by Omar Reyes of Dog Care Journey. Designer dogs, hybrid dogs, puggles, goldendoodles, schnoodles, and yes, Labradoodles have become more popular recently. But aren’t they all just mixed breed dogs? Well, in a way, they are. So what makes them so special? Let’s take a step back and present [...]

In 2007 a pitbull mix waited at a high-kill gassing shelter in the state of Georgia. She was fortunate enough to be rescued and transported to Fargo, N.D., but spent two years living in boarding facilities because no one would foster or adopt her. This is the story of Georgia, a “lucky” dog who now sleeps under [...]

I don’t worry about my mutt Ace whenever a dog I’m fostering gets adopted. If anything, he lets out a huge sigh of relief because most of the time the foster dog has been stressful for us both! Ace usually crashes for a day or two once a foster dog leaves us, not because he’s [...]

Just one more reason to foster a dog: My most recent foster dog Elli was adopted last week. For those of you (like me) who have a constant desire to adopt animals for the temporary thrill of acquiring something new, fostering is a great option. By the time the excitement of bringing Elli into our [...]

I’ve always heard people are less likely to adopt black dogs. True or not, there are an awful lot of black dogs lingering a bit longer in shelters and rescue programs. Maybe it’s our obsession with finding that “perfect” family dog that most closely resembles a golden retriever. My last dog was a golden, and [...]

In our community of Fargo, N.D., West Fargo, N.D., and Moorhead, Minn., 85 impounded dogs were euthanized in 2008, along with 698 cats (not a typo). Giant breed dogs, “bad rap” breeds, senior dogs, sick dogs and injured dogs are the least likely to be pulled from pounds because it is more difficult to find [...]
