WOOF! WOOF! Barks, my pawsome new friend "Miss Sherry" from Advocates for Abused and Abandoned Pets (A3P)  stopped by with a pawcellent friend for you to meet, Patches!

Patches is a 6-year-old Chihuahua mix. She is housebroken and up-to-date with all preventatives and vaccinations! Barks she likes her crate too!

Patches is a pawsomely sweet girl though a little bossy with other dogs sometimes! WOOF! Barkingly, that could be because she has only been with her new foster for a day and is just settling in.

Paws, Patches would enjoy being a couch potato with her human, She does have her energetic moments too! She is considered low-energy though.

Patches' short legs make it hard for her to jump up on things so she'll need some help getting up on the couch or going up the stairs. WOOF!

Patches enjoys going for car rides!

Patches will do best in a home with older mini-humans or an older settled couple who want a low-speed pet in the home. Not sure about her response to cats.

Interested in learning more about dog adoption or apply to adopt Patches? Pawlease visit Advocates for Abused and Abandoned Pets (A3P).

Barks, do you love dogs, but, for whatever reason, are not able to adopt? Please consider supporting Patches financially. Donations will assist with his care. Any extra funds will be used to assist other dogs at  Advocates for Abused and Abandoned Pets (A3P). Interested, please donate HERE!

WOOF! WOOF! Hope you had a pawsome Thanksgiving! And, have some pawsome plans for the weekend! Before my human retired and worked in an office, we looked forward to the weekends because he had ME to take on really long walks. Those walks used to "de-stress" him and help to have a great weekend. Now, he works for me as my editor and a dog photographer. So we go out when I say!

My friend "Lab Lady" from Lab Rescue brought by two pawsome friends for you to me. These guys are bonded buddies who must be adopted together! Barkingly, if you apply to adopt by Sunday, December 9, you will receive a $200 discount. Applies to adopting pairs only.

Paws, let me tell you about my pawsome friends Harvey and Floyd! Harvey is a Black Labrador Retriever and Floyd is a Chocolate Labrador Retriever! Barks, they are looking for their "Forever Home" in a single-family house located in a rural or suburban area with a physical fence!

WOOF! Harvey and Floyd will keep you company! They have pawsome manners and behave so well, they will fit into your home and routine. Barkingly, they are happy to be together!

Harvey and Floyd will happily enjoy some space on your sofa, though they will use dog beds, the luxuriousness of a sofa is their pawsome preference!

WOOF! BARKS! Harvey and Floyd prefer to play in their own backyard soaking up sunshine, getting fresh air and stretching their legs to going on long walks or to dog parks!

Harvey enjoys being outside, laying in the grass! He enjoys playing tug-of-war, running, and being a dog outside in the yard! He loves hanging out with his brother. He is the extrovert.

Floyd is happy to watch the antics of his brother! He is a bit more reserved and prefers to take it all in before allowing scratches or pets from new humans.

The pawsome pair are not fans of water- at least not in pools where they can't feel the bottom! They love snuggling together at night. Floyd tolerates car rides while Harvey enjoys them. The guys have pawcellent house manners but have rarely been crated and know some basic commands!

If you would like to learn more about dog adoption, pawlease visit Lab Rescue Adoption Guide.

Paws, if you would like to meet or apply to adopt Harvey and Floyd, pawlease complete the Lab Rescue Dog Adoption Application! Barks, them Noah and Samson sent you!

WOOF! #GivingTuesday is now in its seventh year! It is the day which begins the charitable season when many humans will focus on gift-giving and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year, #GivingTuesday has become a movement celebrating giving and philanthropy.

Barks and meows! Samson and I would like to share links to the dog and cat rescues which would benefit from donations on #GivingTuesday, We support these groups with writing and photography throughout the year.

Barks, when you donate to these dog and cat rescues, the funds are used for many items including Veterinary care, transportation, wire kennels, crates, bedding, bowls, Martingale collars, leashes, puppy pads, canned or dry dog and cat food, Mendota slip leads, nylon slip leads, Pill Pockets, topical flea and tick preventative for dogs and cats, clumping cat litter. non-clumping cat litter for small kittens, cat toys!

“Where are we headed!??”

 “WOOF! We’re going to visit our affiliates starting with Kurgo! Dad buys dog-friendly travel items for us to use when we go out whether it’s a ride around town, a trip going railfanning or a vacation.

BARKS! One of my favorite items is the backseat extender! I love the one installed in Dad’s car because it safely allows me to have more room to stretch out in the back seat.

Barkingly, it includes a barrier to keep me from going into the front seat.”

 “MEOW! Yes, I’ve heard the story about you going into the front seat to sit with our humans during rush hour! Not good. Paws.”
“WOOF! Yeah, not long after that incident, I reviewed a product called, Backseat Barrier in July 2014. This product kept me from wandering to the front seat too! Bark!

With every trip, you have to have treats! Barks, let’s stop at TruDog and get some pawsome treats! One of my favorites treats is the Crunchy Beef Delight Beef Real Meat Super Treat!”

“MEOW! Oh, I heard about those treats! You climbed up a chair to the top of the bar counter, to get those treats, ripped the bag open, and ate everything inside! HAHAHAHAHA! I bet Dad wasn’t too happy! But, what about treats for me? HISS!”

“WOOF, yeah Dad wasn’t pawleased. Barks, yes, though I haven’t tasted them, I’m pawing that the Treat Me Chicken Hearts Freeze Dried Treats for Cats will keep you meowing and purring for a while.”

“Meows, do we need a place to stay along this trip? We can visit BringFido to make reservations in a posh-posh hotel! Purrs! Purr!”

180x150 logo - Sfly“Barks, no my little buddy, on Cyber Monday, we do not leave the comfort of Dad’s Photography Studio- just don’t tell Dad! Paws, BringFido is a pawsome way to find hotels, resorts and the like which permit dogs.”

“Meows, Dad loves to use Shutterfly for his photography right? I think if we visit Shutterfly we can make some cool stuff to give our humans for Christmas. Meowingly, their  What do you think Noah?

“Meow! Paws, Dad and Mom love to read, so I’m thinking a stop at Christian Book Distributors or Answers In Genesis would be a great place to find special gifts for them. This way, I can curl up in Mom’s lap all winter while she reads and reads and reads some more!”

“Woof! Do you like to learn stuff, Samson? Our humans love learning! A visit to Craftsy might help you to learn a new hobby or skill! Dad has taken a few photography classes with Craftsy and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm proud of him! He's gotten past the turning on the camera stage! WOOF! WOOF!!

Riley is learning to sit and "watch" other dogs as they walk past. While they enjoy their walks, they don't seem eager to go outside- they are happy inside! Barks, walks seem to be enough exercise for them. Watch Riley and Buddy Running and Playing!

Buddy and Riley will sit and wait until both food bowls are ready! They like sleeping on a futon but will be happy to jump in bed with you when invited!
