Every year Guide Dogs of America has a booth at the  Mission Viejo Dog Walk (also known as the DAWG Walk), Pet Faire, and Dog Adoption Event.  Every year I’m busy with one thing or another and can’t attend this event.  I hope to change that trend this year! Thinking back in time…last year I [...]

What Things Should I Consider Before Getting A Dog?

It’s been years since I adopted my first dog and thought about the question: What Things Should I Consider Before Getting A Dog?

Wait…it’s not as bad as it sounds…Did you ever see the movie Alivestarring Ethan Hawke back in the early 1990′s?  If not, let me give you a quick summary: In 1972 a chartered plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby squad and various family members crashed in the Andes.

Should We Discount Price On Dog Adoptions?

Do you think our shelters should discount dog adoptions?  The question arose (in my head) when I was reading an article about Animal Shelter has dogs for half-price adoption. My initial reaction is “that’s great…hopefully we can get more dogs and cats adopted by discounting the adoption fee.”  However, on second thought I’m not so [...]

Riverside Humane Society Raises Over 46K

Wow!  $46,000 raised at the Riverside (CA) Humane Society Pet Adoption Center’s 12th Annual Comedy Night.  That’s pretty cool and very encouraging to see that there are so many generous people in our community. The main reason this article caught my attention is because the Riverside Animal Shelter is where we picked up the seven [...]
