My Mission

Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent


Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

For the Love of the Dog is my small effort to do that. Please, won't you help me!

IMPORTANT! Read if You Subscribe to Email Updates

If you are currently receiving email updates I am changing the service that handles this as the service I have been using has changed hands and I want to make sure that you are getting your updates in a consistent and timely manner and you don’t miss anything.  As my readers, subscribers and friends, I know many of you look forward to receiving your almost daily updates so that you can keep up with things and help to raise awareness for the betterment of the welfare for our canine companions and it’s important to me to make sure that I provide you with the best tools and information that I can on a timely basis.

On that note, I would ask that you take a moment to subscribe to the new Email Update subscription.  The form is below, just fill in your name and email address and you’ll receive a confirmation email.  Once you confirm, you’re all set up and you can unsubscribe from the old service.  I will keep the old email update service in effect for a week or two to give everyone time to get set up.

If you’re not already subscribed, go ahead and sign up.  It’s a great way to keep up with things.  You get an email with excerpts of posts that I’ve written and if you see something that interests you, you can just click on the link provided and get to the story, quick and easy.

Just as an FYI – the “old” service email update are plain, blue links with a text excerpt. The “new” service has a burgundy header with pictures and title. That way you won’t get them mixed up. :)

    i think I am already signed up Deanna and receiving all your info. Unless this is a change to take place since the last one, over the week-end, I should and hope I am okay.

      Jessie, this is a new service that I just got set up…. finally yesterday…. for email updates. The other one that I have been using I will be discontinuing in a week or two after people have had time to sign up for the new one. You’ll be able to tell the difference between the two very easily once you see them. Just unsubscribe from the old one once you get signed up for this one or you can always just let me know and I will remove you if that makes it easier. :)

      • I too am having problems updating my email info. It says my email has already been confirmed but if this is an all new system, I will need to subscribe again. How can I do this D? I don’t want to miss any of my issues when the new system begins.
        Thanks for such great information. Very factual, honest, and bring out potential problems in all areas of animals, is a must and an alert to me. I don’t ever want to be one of the unfortunate, best intended rescuers who placed an already abused animal into the hands of yet another. This is my greatest fear as I am sure it is with anyone who loves animals the way we do and want only the very best for them. I know I will never be able to keep them all, but who will take care of these animals better than I is always a concern. They are our children if only for a while and who takes over their care is investigated as a day care provider would be for my human children. ANY doubt or uneasy feeling, the dog doesn’t go, period. These candidates are interviewed as if they were applying for the secret service. Any pure, honest, animal lover is willing to jump through the multiple hoops when their intentions are genuine. They have to understand that animal abuse is on the rise and has been the worst ever and it is our job and obligation to these animals that every precaution is taken, implimented and follow ups are done as often as possible. After all, whould we ask or expect anything less for our human children’s well being? A child is a child whethr they have two legs or four.

  • Hi Deanna,
    I love the website and I think the move was great, I like how it all works here… well done!
    We all know how passionate you are about talking up for the pets …. without a voice, they need more people like you to help raise awareness of the issues that affect them, well done, and keep it up!!

    If you got the “Email Digest” today (or yesterday) I want to apologize. Seems there was a problem with the links. For some reason the code that makes things work wasn’t working correctly. Anyway, it will be fixed and retested before the email goes out tomorrow.

    Thanks for your patience with me. It’s been quite a lot to get everything working between moving the website and getting this all set up.

    hi Deanna, You never ask for donations. You do such good work and many of us look forward to your news and actions we might help with. Would you please post an address on your newsletter so we can donate once in awhile? Be a lot easier than going to your web. Especially for those of us that have snail paced dial-up. Always enjoy your writings. Your devotion to helping animals and the people that love and care for them is quite beautiful and touching. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Vicki Hood
