Has Vick Paid His Debt to Society?

There are many people who feel quite strongly about this one way or the other. Personally, I don’t think he has. I’m irritated with the NFL for letting him back in (albeit conditionally), but they are a private organization and thus free to do what they want. The real failure happened years ago in the legal system.  [...]

My Annual Public Service Announcement

Here comes my annual lecture, uh, public service announcement about getting/giving puppies/dogs for Christmas. Most of these things are common sense, but bear repeating especially given the release of Marley and Me this holiday – after which even though Marley is ill-behaved people will be rushing out for new lab puppies I’m sure.  And while [...]

Milo and Emma Need Your Help

I blog often about dog rescue – sometimes telling stories and sometimes asking for help. Our rescue always needs help – especially foster pyrents. I’m getting ready to put a plea for help out again  – but this time the plea is a different.  The need is always urgent of course but this time the [...]

Puppies!

In addition to many wonderful adult Great Pyrenees, IGPR has a litter of the most adorable pups available for adoption. Check out Sumo Better yet, go adopt one!

Mistreatment at Indianapolis Animal Care and Control

There are claims that IACC has been mistreating animals. Before you [...]

Goodbye Charley

It hit me after I arrived home yesterday that Charley Bear is gone. I found out midday he was getting adopted by an incredible forever mom and didn’t really process it then as I was mid-workday and preoccupied. Bella and Jobear still have been a bit mopey – though a healthy dose of daycare yesterday [...]

Say No to Puppy Mills

I think I kind of made the point earlier but wanted to punctuate it. Puppy mills are all about supply and demand. You buy a puppy store puppy and you are keeping puppy mills in business. Plain and simple. Whether you buy 1 dog or 5, so long as that dog comes from a puppy store you are part [...]

Reserving Judgement (Or Not)

If you read this site ever you know I’m more than committed to the dog rescue thing – I could probably be categorized as militant about it. It’s my cause – I’ve decided I need to speak and care for those who can’t speak and care for themselves.  So today when someone I know was excited to tell me [...]

The Revolving Door

It’s been a revolving door of fosters in my house this past week. I usually never “give up” on a foster dog unless it’s not a good fit with one of my girls but had to trade Serengeti/Truman (foster number eight) in finally this past Saturday.  He is an anxious guy which was making Bella a disaster [...]
