Hello. It's just us - Charlotte, Sterling, Zen and Benny staying warm (and looking cute) in our foster home waiting for our forever homes.

Stop by Chuck and Don’s in Roseville to meet some adoptable dogs and meet Cindy Ojczyk, Second Chance foster parent and author of “Mom Loves the Dogs More: A Memoir of Family Rescue”. They’ll be there from 11-1. The book would make a great holiday gift for your dog loving friend or family member!

Congratulations, Belle! She had five deep, rich orange babies this morning (the 5th one is under the others). Luckily, her foster mom was with her so she could cut and tie off two of the babies' cords. Everyone appears healthy, and Belle is a sweet, loving mom.

Beautiful Belle is hoping she delivers her kittens soon.

Happy Thanksgiving! Here is a reminder what to keep out of reach of your pets. Have a wonderful holiday.

We are so sad and angry to report another rescue that failed the animals.

A Watonwan County pet rescue is being investigated by authorities after reports of several dead dogs and dogs in poor condition on the rescue's property.

Foster kitten, Zen, decided to go lay on top of tiny, new foster kitten, Josie. Maybe he didn't see her because she is so small. :) Then brother, Benny, decided to join them.
