The importance of outdoor play time for dogs cannot be overstated, but it’s sadly ignored by a large amount of breeders in the United States.

You Want to Help Keep People and Pets Together. But How to Get Started?
People kept approaching Corena Huffman about giving up their pets. They couldn’t afford to feed them. They weren’t able to get them to the vet. People thought turning over the cats and dogs they loved to the Highland County Humane Society—the nonprofit, foster-based organization in rural Virginia, for which Corena volunteers as executive director (the organization has no paid staff)—was their only choice, if the pets were to stay healthy and well. Corena thought there might be a better way: giving out pet food,...
