David Wise is around 6-weeks-old! He will be ready to go to his "Forever Home" around June 23, 2018! He is hoping to find a family soon so his foster can help other dogs in need! WOOF!

Barkingly, since I am so young, I have only received 2 sets of the required 3 sets of puppy vaccinations for distemper/parvo. Barks, this is very IMPORTANT because it means that his immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age. He MUST stay out of public places where he could be exposed to the germs of many other dogs for another 8-10 weeks after he goes home. These no puppy zones include all pet stores, dog parks, and for apartment dwellers, areas used by other dogs. These requirements are strictly for the puppy’s medical safety and longevity.

If you would like to apply to meet or adopt David Wise, pawlease complete the Operation Paws for Homes Adoption Application.

Unable to adopt? Barkingly, how about supporting David Wise financially? Donations will assist with David Wise's care. Any extra funds will be used to assist other dogs at Operation Paws for Homes. Interested, please donate HERE!

Friday's Friend! Cat Adoption, Homeless Animals Rescue Team

WOOF! HAPPY FRIDAY! Cats make pawsome pets! They are a bit easier to take care of than dogs and can provide great companionship too! Meet my friend Saphira from Homeless Animals Rescue Team.

Saphira is around 5-years-old, is not declawed, isn't good with dogs or other cats. She is good with mini-humans.

Pawsomely beautiful, Saphira, a white cat with blue eyes is deaf.  She needs to be warned before you approach her. Tapping on the window, sofa, table, windowsill seems to be enough to get her attention.

Saphira loves sleeping in the sun. She constantly purrs and loves to rub against her human. Once she gets to know you, she will cuddle up in your lap. Meowingly, she doesn't like to be picked up.

Purrs, Saphira would like to be your one-and-only cat this! She will do best with a very patient and understanding human.

Saphira might take a while to settle into her new "Forever Home," but, she will steal your heart! Meows!

View Saphira on her lastest Youtube video, Saphira!

Purr, if you have questions about Saphira, pawlease contact Kim!

Happy First Day of Summer

Happy Summer! Have a fun time! Be careful! Be safe! WOOF!! Party! Party! Party! BARKS!

Welcome Samson! My New Cat Brother!

(C) Saving Future Feral Cats

WOOF! BARK! ARF! WOOF! oh, uh, er, maybe I should say MEOW! PURR!! to welcome my new little brother Samson to the family!

Last week, my humans took an afternoon drive to Annapolis, Maryland to visit a cat who'd been rescued by Saving Future Feral Cats (SFFC) of Stevensville, Maryland. Mom had been looking for a cat for quite awhile when she came across this pawsome fella on Petfinder! I didn't know she was looking for another cat until she came across this guy!

(C) Saving Future Feral Cats

If you remember, I used to have a cat brother! His name was Haydn! He passed away from cancer a few years ago but since my humans were in the midst of caring for their ailing parents, it really wasn't practical to adopt a cat during that time. So Mom waited.

Now that Mom's settled into her new schedule around the house and working for our church, she can adopt a cat and take care of it too! WOOF, er, sorry, MEOW- I just get so excited.

Samson is a shy guy at the moment. It takes him awhile to adjust to his surroundings and then comes to get to know his humans. He has lived with dogs and was fostered with a most pawsome dog in Annapolis! So, he's versed in how great we dogs are so I do not need to chat or convince him of that! MEOW!! He is around 3-years-old and like my previous brother, a Maine Coon cat! He looks like a raccoon from the back but don't tell Mom I said that! MEOW! HISS!

Paws, I welcome Samson to the family with open paws and tons of doggie lovin's to go with it. As time goes on and we get to know him better, I will be writing more about him ... hey, I might even allow him to write a post or two! Meow... we'll see about that one! WOOF!!

Paws, Barks, Meows, and Purrs to pawsome humans at Saving Future Feral Cats! The organization typically doesn't work with cats the age of Samson but we are thankful they rose to the call and helped this fella to find us! WOOF!

WELCOME HOME SAMSON!!

Happy Father's Day!

(C) Allen Pearson

WOOF! Happy Father's Day to all fathers, whether you are human, canine, feline or any other pawsome animal! Have yourself a pawsome day, doing what you like to do best! BARKS!

To my human father, thank you for everything you have done and are doing to help me to enjoy life. I remember when we first met and you decided I was the one you want, or mom insisted you wanted (woof! woof!), to adopt and be your one-and-only, dog that is. On the way home, you looked at me and I looked back and we knew, this was a  match made in heaven.

Thank you, human father for all the walks, the games of fetch, the many non-destructible toys which lasted only a few minutes (woof! woof!), the delicious treats and food, the pawsome water, the many naps, the belly rubs and scratches on my ears. WOOF! Even though I hate to admit this, thank you for the trips to the Veterinarian! Though I don't like going, I've noticed you always selected what you consider the best Veterinarian to keep me healthy.

Happy Father's Day Dad!  Barks! Happy Father's Day to all father's!

T-Shirts that Make a Difference! Buy a T-Shirt and Help Dogs and Cats!

(C) PetConnect Rescue

WOOF! My pawsome friends at PetConnect Rescue are selling T-shirts to raise funds for their work with dogs and cats. Pawingly, there are 8 puppies coming soon to PetConnect Rescue!

Meet Julie, Jaspar, Jeff, Jane, Jake, Julian, Jessie, and Josie who all need your help! WOOF! Here's a bit about their story, "barks! we were abandoned, along with our mom, at just a few weeks old. Our mom helped us survive, but we got really sick. We were full of worms and other parasites. We all badly need medicine to make us healthy. Right now, we're in a shelter down south, but thank goodness that PetConnect Rescue agreed to take us in! We are coming to Maryland June 23 and are going to three different foster homes so none of us will be scared and lonely. Those fosters have to give all of us lots of medicine to get us well and ready for our forever homes!"

WOOF! The medications for these pawsome pups are expensive and the pups can't get healthy without them! WOOF! Barkingly, we have to see the Veterinarian too!

BARK! Can you help PetConnect Rescue help these puppies? WOOF! If you buy a T-shirt, not only will you get a pawesome, new, super soft T-shirt, you will be helping these puppies and many others like them! WOOF!!

My human has bought a a few of these T-shirts over the years and has loved the quality!

If you are not into T-Shirt, pawlease consider making a donation. WOOF! Paws to You!
