July 13, 2011 Pittsbrugh Pup Crawl!

As part of my daily job I receive emails from different shelters and rescue groups from across the country. One that caught my eye earlier this year was from New York City, where, in 2009, a group of friends launched The Pup Crawl, a nighttime dog walk across the Brooklyn Bridge designed to raise awareness [...]

September 14, 2010 Are you a responsible guardian?

A few weeks ago I as at the dog park when a woman asked, “Are you a dog walker for a living?”. “No, why?”, I replied. “Well, your always right by your dogs watching them very carefully. So I just figured…”. I asked, “Isn’t that what good dog moms do?” I’m well aware of my [...]

September 14, 2010 The Adventures of Gary the Foster Dog Continue

Gary, the 8-month-old pit bull mix, & I have spent this first week of foster getting to know each other. He learns my habits while I learn his. It’s a fair exchange, I think. He’s teaching me how he signals to go outside & do his stuff. That’s just what I wanted. Then I can [...]

September 11, 2010 The Adventures of Gary the Foster Dog, Day 3

Day 3: Ursa, our own wonderful pit, just spent about 30 minutes teaching Gary how to play. Yesterday, Ursa was a little reserved about playing with Gary. I watched the two of them closely while they were playing. Gary was coming at Ursa with teeth & giving her a bite each time he lunged at [...]

September 10, 2010 The Adventures of Gary the Foster Dog, Day 2

Day 2: Overnight, Gary was pretty quiet in his crate, but did break out into barking one time. I went to the crate & said “NO!” in a really deep stern voice. He sat down in there & looked at me. There was no more barking even when he heard me stirring in the bedroom [...]

September 8, 2010 The Adventures of Gary the Foster Dog

Day 1: Just got home with our new foster, a little 8-month old pit mix with only 3 legs. Gary was brought in to the shelter by a kind woman who had found him on the streets. He was seriously underfed and his back right leg was crushed. The vets had to amputate Gary’s leg, [...]

September 3, 2010 Sweet Bunny – It’s Your Turn at Last!

Today I didn’t see her. I had looked at our website every day for a year & saw a dog named “Bunny” among the available pets. A sweet, 2-year-old pit bull-lab mix, she’d been waiting forever for a home. Each day when I opened the site, I hoped she’d be missing from among those searching [...]
