Pets of the Week – June 17, 2013 (Rowdy and Allie)

Allie

Rowdy’s luminous personality is a full 1,000 watts — he’s thrilled to see you 24/7, with a beaming smile and a full-body wag to prove it, but ask this lustrous 2-year-old black and white Retriever/mix to come back to his kennel after a race around the yard and he’ll politely oblige; and he’ll proudly show you how he can sit,

Keep Cool in Hot Weather

Is your pup a cool customer or a hot dog this summer? You can still have fun with your dog and be mindful of the temperatures when the thermometer hits those triple digits. Some things to keep in mind:

Pets of the Week – June 10, 2013 (Coolio and Rosalie)

Coolio

He was found in a ditch with a broken leg — a sleek Plott Hound/Boxer lover-boy, a year and a half young and handsomely brindled, with a tender disposition well intact despite his injury.

Pets of the Week – June 3, 2013 (Joker and Janis)

Joker

Joker was named after the famed comic book character not because he possesses villainous powers, but because he has one crazy wide grin. This one-year-old, medium-sized Boxer and Shepherd mix is game for play … any and all the time. A high activity home and lifestyle is exactly what this boy needs to be happy and content.

Pets of the Week – May 27, 2013 (Hoops and Nora)

Nora

Like most introverts, Nora enjoys time alone. She’s fine with other cats, but because she’s naturally independent, she leaves socializing to them. From her cat bed she observes the antics and habits of her feline roommates and probably rolls her eyes at them now and again. Nora has an “only child” personality and wants total autonomy of the decision-making,
