Statistically, Piper is one of the world’s unluckiest dogs. In one case, the spayed housedog has the most common problem that dooms pets . She’s in the shelter because her owner is moving. That’s the most offered excuse for leaving someone, who believed that she was a family member, behind. Being housebroken, leash-trained and good […]
Twelve-week-old Atlas arrived after his Great Pyrenees mama spent time with an uninvited gentleman caller. No one knows the visitor’s breed, but his puppy is adorable, wearing a pirate’s patch on his white face and floppy ears that give Atlas a forlorn look.

Coraline, a spayed, vaccinated, black Labrador-mix pup, has the qualities that make people love her breed.

This is 11-week-old, Great Pyrenees-mix Opal’s first winter. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for someone. That someone, maybe a person who’s dreading winter, can choose to focus on the dreary weather or take Opal home and have the best, most memorable winter ever. Most puppies are born in spring. Opal wasn’t. She’ll discover the world […]

Dude, a handsome, neutered Russian Blue, was home for Christmas. It was his 10th Christmas. Maybe his people remembered Dude’s first, when he was a kitten amazed by the tree, the wrapping paper, the celebration. Maybe Dude does, too. He definitely remembers this one, when he felt comfortable, secure at home, with his people. Dude […]
