Every decade or so criminals get their hands on a particular breed for fame, money or status (all the wrong reasons to own a dog) and tarnish the image of the breed.
Dog whisperer Cesar Millan writes on his website, “in the ’70s they blamed Dobermans, in the ’8 ...
I’ve seen too many rescue dogs adopted and then returned a month or two later. People are eager to adopt a “rescue” dog but then realize they have taken on more than they can handle.
Perhaps part of the problem starts with the rescue organizations themselves for adopting out the “problem” dogs too eagerly. When a dog has been in a shelter or foster home for a year, it’s easy to adopt her out to the first ...

Grizz the Australian shepherd
Grizz (about 1) is up for adoption with 4 Luv of Dog Rescue. Grizz gets along with cats and other dogs. He knows commands well and walks well on t ...
A puppy born with a cleft palate already has a strike against him. Sometimes breeders kill pups with birth defects. Right or wrong, I personally know breeders who do it. They know few people will want to buy a pup with defects.
But strike two for this particular pitbull named Steve was when his family lost their home, according to 4 Luv of Dog Rescue in Fargo. Steve was dropped off at a boarding kennel and remained t ...
I often refer to the field behind our townhouse as our backyard. Really, we live right on the edge of a city-owned soccer field. My mutt Ace and I had this field all to ourselves from November through March. But now that it’s warmer, dozens of people run in that field each day.
We have a large, glass patio door that looks out onto the field. Ace has started barking every time kids, dogs, runners or soccer playe ...
Yesterday was the first bike ride of the season for my mutt and I (finally). We picked right up as though we hadn’t missed a day. I went slowly of course, barely above our running pace so Ace didn’t have to break into a run. When we got to a park I let him off leash and allowed him to sprint after me if he wanted. He took on my challenge and raced across the field remaining at my side no matter how fast I ...
Our little foster dog went to her trial home today. It’s a good thing someone wanted to adopt her right away because we were starting to get attached to Sammi and wanted to keep her! Even the cats were getting used to her.
Ace is walking around with his toys in his mouth happy to be an only dog again. Although he had fun with a puppy around, he will take advantage of this time to catch up on some rest. He was v ...
It is so much fun living with a puppy despite all the trouble. I look at this little foster pup named Sammi and I can’t be mad at her no matter what she does. My 3-year-old lab mix Ace actually seems mature for once, although he is enjoying all the extra toys around the house, playtime and more walks. He has already destroyed two of Sammi’s new toys.
Sammi is a great dog. I can’t believe she ended u ...
Our foster dog is here.
Sammi is about the cutest dog I’ve ever seen. I don’t know exactly what she is mixed with, but I am guessing mostly American pit bull terrier with some smaller terrier like a Jack Russell. She seems to be all terrier to me anyway! Basically she is a tiny pitbull. She is about a third of Ace’s size and very, very skinny. She didn’t want to eat her breakfast this morning ...
There is a male pit bull terrier in one of the Fargo-area pounds scheduled to be euthanized soon if no one saves him today (Tuesday). 02/25/09 edit: The pitbull was saved and has a foster home lined up!
The fact that this dog is a pitbull means his chances of being rescued are slim even though he has done well around other dogs and is a manageable 40 pounds.
With my close connections with dog rescue groups, I become ...
