Dana Darby and Lee Harrington have been rescuing dogs for over 10 years in. Lois Bourget of Massachusetts joined the Board, as Director of Northern Affairs. . We are a non-profit rescue registered in the states of Alabama and Massachusetts and have been certified by the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture. We currently have a small sanctuary, a separate climate controlled house for Mamas to de

liver and care for their puppies until time for adoption and a large foster network who care for our dogs as they ready for their new homes. We generally have 20-30 dogs in our care at various points on their path to adoption. POH has not yet pulled from local shelters, we and our volunteers find dogs on the streets in need of care or dogs neglected or abandoned by their owners. Every dog is cared for by POH until healthy, vaccinated and spayed/neutered prior to adoption without exception. POH has a Community Outreach program which provides food, houses, vetting and education on proper dog care to those in need. As well, POH provides numerous "Stray Stations" with food and clean water for the displaced dogs and feral cats in Bessemer. We recently joined the Bessemer Chamber of Commerce being the first rescue invited to join the Chamber. We are still in our infancy as an organized rescue and are growing in skills, network and volunteers at an astounding pace.

A Real life Cat Burglar!

He could be bothering the dog, sleeping, hunting, or just being adorable, but no, this cat has chosen to dedicate himself to stealing.

On this day in 1944 — 77 years ago — President Franklin D. Roosevelt had to answer critics who made his Scottish terrier, Fala, a campaign issue in the heat of his re-election race.

They claimed that Roosevelt had left Fala behind after a visit to the Aleutian Islands, and then sent a military ship to rescue the dog. The accusation was never proved.

“I don’t resent attacks, and my family doesn’t resent attacks, but Fala does resent them,” Roosevelt said, in a rebuttal inspired by his friend, Orson Welles.

“You know, Fala is Scotch, and being a Scottie, as soon as he learned that the Republican fiction writers in Congress and out had concocted a story that I'd left him behind on an Aleutian island and had sent a destroyer back to find him — at a cost to the taxpayers of two or three, or eight or twenty million dollars — his Scotch soul was furious. He has not been the same dog since. I am accustomed to hearing malicious falsehoods about myself ... But I think I have a right to resent, to object, to libelous statements about my dog,” the president said.
