Street Dog Has Puppies and They All Get Adopted, Except for Her
This story was originally shared on The Animal Rescue Site. Submit your own rescue story here. Your story just might be the next to be featured on our blog! Someone had abandoned a dog at a lonely stretch of road near my home, and four lovely puppies were born a week later. Three were brownies and one a mix of black and white. The puppies were housed inside a roadside scupper and the mother dog would show her displeasure when someone went near. If it rained, I worried the puppies would be washed away, if not drowned. DOG.

Dog Monuments Around The World Are Turning Gold From People Petting Them

It is obvious where people are petting the bronze statues because that area is turning gold. The natural oxidization process turns the...

PCAS Assistant Director Spencer Conover attributes this success to a positive workplace culture, built through inspiration,...

Must Know Goldendoodle Grooming Tips
Like many of our Dogster readers, you may have ventured into at-home grooming during the pandemic, but if you’re a Goldendoodle pet parent, it’s worth putting professional grooming back on your to-do list. Goldendoodles are very high on the list of breeds that need professional grooming regularly, plus weekly brushing at home, says Jay Spainhour, owner of Chicago’s Tucker Pups Pet Resort.

Blind And Deaf Rescue Husky Chases Owner Around The Yard
Running in the yard with your dog can be a lot of fun, but when your dog is both deaf and blind, it poses some challenges. For the Flood family, those challenges meant their husky, Lady, couldn’t see or hear them very well. She was comfortable and enjoyed running in circles, but it’s not like she could play a game of fetch or tag very easily, given her lack of eyesight and hearing.
