As chance would have it, the wonderful work of the Best Friends dog and cat ...Read the rest of this post »

The Benefits of Adopting a Dog
There are many benefits to adopting a pet from a shelter. One of these benefits is that you can spend time with the dog before deciding to adopt it to get to know the dog's personality. Take the dog out of its cage to observe how it interacts with people and other dogs. You don't have to adopt the dog immediately, in fact you should take your time and visit other shelters to see what they have available. Getting a dog is a lifetime commitment and one you should be sure of before ...Read the rest of this post »

Dog Behavior: Curbing Your Dog's Fear of Thunderstorms
When my first dog got to be a little bit older, she acquired an intense fear of thunderstorms. As a young dog, this dog never seemed to notice thunderstorms, but age altered her attitude. At the first rumble of thunder, my usually adventurous dog would dash off, find somewhere to hide, and shudder uncontrollably. Reassuring talk did nothing to calm her. Sometimes she would even lose control of her bladder, she was so petrified. Then one day while waiting for the dog's vet appointment, we ...Read the rest of this post »

The Historical Mandate for Dog Adoption
A headline in the Long Island Star, December 8, 1876, stated, "Two Bull Dogs Chew Each Other Up." Cheered on by gamblers, the $1,000 dog fight continued for nearly four hours. Throughout history, the inhumane treatment of dogs was scarcely noticed. Children and factory laborers were often subjected to physical and emotional abuse without scandal. So the fate of a dog was not even on the radar screen of the average person. Unwanted or abandoned New York City dogs were frequently drowned in iron ...Read the rest of this post »
