A Special Message: Adopt a Furry Friend This Holiday Season

Aug 16 2012

As the last leaves fall to the ground and into the leaf collectors (what my human papa refers to as gutters), it is time to snuggle up with the ones you hold most dear to celebrate Thanksgiving and all of the other wonderful holidays to come. I love this time of year: the smell of leaves, winter in the air, Thanksgiving dinner, baked goods and an endless variety of treats that make me slobber so much that my human mama has to wipe my little jowls. And this is just the beginning! Christmas, Hanukkah and other wonderful holidays will be upon us soon. I can already smell the Christmas trees and see the amazing, sparkly lights inside and out that will decorate my territory. And there will be so many more treats for my eyes, nose and ears to digest. I think I'm going to howl!

I have an amazing home with many warm laps to occupy and undoubtedly a few too many tasty treats (as my lady veterinarian will tell you). Some of my fur brothers and sisters are not so fortunate because they have not found a furever home yet. Many of them have had a rough life and just want someone to love. All of them have a unique story to tell and personalities that will light up any room. Dear humans, if you have been considering a new furry friend, this is the best time of year to follow through.

You won't actually find a pet. You will find a dear friend who has been waiting for this moment all along...

Some of the adverts are really funny as the owners have written them as if they are the dogs, saying they are looking for specific colours and breeds. It’s like a lonely hearts ad. [Stacie Stewart]

Newly Adopted Saint Bernard, Hercules, Chases Off Burglar

Aug 16 2012

Only six hours after being adopted from the Highland County Dog Pound in Ohio, Hercules chased a burglar out of the house and over the back yard fence. The 135-pound Saint Bernard was found a couple weeks ago by hikers along a trail after initially mistaking him for a log. Turns out Hercules was dehydrated and bleeding, likely from a coyote attack. He was feeling much better but not completely recovered from his adventure at the time of the burglary.
