Adopt a Senior Pet Month
Adopt a Senior Pet Month November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month There’s nothing like a cute fluffy kitten or a plump little puppy. What’s not to love!? Kittens climbing up our curtains, using our furniture, and occasionally our hands and arms as scratching posts. Puppies, everyone loves a puppy! Sleepless nights with a whiney puppy. Puppies that don’t make it outside on time for those potty calls. Shoes, what’s a shoe without...
Pet Rescue Stories – Introducing “Snazzy”
Its been a while since I posted a Pet Rescue Story on my blog. I always love hearing these real life stories of how people and pets come together.

Dog Rescue – Panda’s Story
Dog Rescue Stories Introducing: Panda What does it mean to rescue a dog? Can it make a difference in a dogs life when it’s rescued?

I have loved dogs since I was a kid, walking a neighbour’s collie mix nearly every day, and playing with another neighbour’s two Basset Hounds, Jasmine and Velvet (you know, of Hush Puppy fame) every chance I could get. I was the kid that stopped at every house with a dog...
