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.

Once Doomed, Now Famous “Devil Dog” Visits Old Stompin Grounds – VIDEO

In January I did a bit on this little 3-year-old Chihuahua that was found behind a dumpster at a store in Eugene, OR.  So aggressive, he was dubbed “El Diablo” and the only thing in his future was death until a rescuer decided to give him a chance.  He eventually made it into the hands of Cesar Millan and on “Dog Whisperer” and after an amazing transformation, he’s now he’s out as an extra on the show.

Recently “El Diablo” made it back to Eugene for a brief reunion with the woman who rescued the feisty little pooch from certain death at the shelter.  The little Chi was adopted by the location manager of “Dog Whisperer” and they are now boon companions traveling all over together for show shoots.

Nice to see a happy ending. :)

    How sweet I have a long haired Chihuahuaand love her to death . She came from a place that kept her locked up in a kennal about 20 hours a day her first 8 months of her life. Sorry no life for a pup in my eyes so her a her crate was taken by yours truly and never looked back since. She now lives a life of everything pink from her dresses to her buggie to even her doggie saftly seat in the car. My door is always open to these little guys that need a home
