Last Friday, an amazing rescue of a dog trapped in the flooded Los Angeles River had people transfixed as it was broadcast live.

This was Jiffy a little over a year ago in December of 2008. The 11-year-old border collie weighed in at almost 120-lbs, about 70-lbs more than what he should have weighed.

This wonderful Rescue Tale is from our own Susie – Sue Horn. I was lucky to be able to live this through from start to finish with her if only vicariously through emails. I shared the joys and tears and frustrations. A story like this takes you from the beginning to the end rather smoothly [...]

In June, in Vineland, NJ, this sweet girl was dragged behind a pickup truck, her injuries traumatic. This picture doesn’t hardly give you any idea.

No, it was not vanity that prompted the RSPCA to get the near $1000 cosmetic surgery for the abandoned Shar Pei, Roland. Without the facelift and double eyelift Roland faced a life of pain and possible blindness from entropion, a condition where the eyelashes rub against the eyes and cause constant pain and can cause [...]

Here’s a heartwarming story I came across and thought would be special to share. It’s a tale we wish for all shelter dogs 365 days of the year. Not just at Christmas. Merry Christmas, and may all your wishes come true.

Pennsylvania’s new regulations are biting hard at dog breeders. [...]
