abandoned dog « For the Love of the Dog

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!

Not all dogs wound up at shelters because there’s something wrong with them, sometimes, actually far too often, it’s because there’s something wrong with the owners! Yes, most of us know this but too many people look at shelter animals as “damaged” when they should look at them as survivors. Most of them just need [...]
