Today is National Pet Memorial Day.
This is a special day to memorialize and remember our beloved pets that have passed away.
Animals have a magical way of touching our hearts, and it’s important to honor them after they’re gone.
This is me at 3 and 12 years old with my only puppy and first pet, Ichiban Akkan. We grew up together and he lived to be 13. He was my best friend and I still miss him. ❤️

It's not that we like to be quiet, but sometime an honest-day's (volunteer) work can take a few days or even a few weeks. We've just placed a formal commitment to rescue these three adults and 5 purebred Akita puppies that were impounded, for their safety, after they were confiscated by local police. There are at least 5 purebred Akita puppies with Mama dog, and they are estimated by shelter staff to be 5 weeks old. We will need help. We cannot do this alone.

Today is National Dog Day!
This holiday was created in 2004 by Colleen Paige, a pet and family lifestyle expert and animal advocate. She created this day so that all dogs can be celebrated, to draw attention to the number of dogs in shelters, and to encourage adoption to those who have yet to find a home.
Colleen also uses the day to draw attention to the multiple ways dogs contribute to society. From putting their lives on the line to help law enforcement and rescue teams, to providing assistance for those who need it as a service or guide dog, or as an emotional support companion.

Today is National Spoil Your Dog Day! It might be a sickness, but we are so in love with our dogs! Granted they can be a little needy, but during times when it seems nobody loves us, they always do.
Your pup is always there for you, so dole out those treats, do some doggy activities, and show your dog a lot of love...and give lots of belly rubs!!

Dogs are the absolute best creatures on earth.

Can you say "Felony Animal Cruelty"? This is not a case of alleged. It's on video and he as admitted to authorities to doing this. As advocates for animals, we believe that once convicted - and he will be - this guy is punished in the same manner as his poor dog was. Sound off!

San Diego County Animal Services is filing charges against the man accused of dragging a Doberman behind a car in Spring Valley.

Everyone we know in the animal-Rescue community (Dogs, cats, Public Shelters or Rescue groups) is no longer just overwhelmed - they're defeated. Please, please ... choose rescue first.

We send our prayers and condolences to everyone affected by the sudden and severe flooding in Texas.

Seriously, the fireworks last night - and we are not talking about the ones that are professionally orchestrated for public viewing. We're talking about ordinary citizens setting off loud M-80's (or something similar) causing large booms that shake the walls, cause even the most desensitized dogs to pace and pant all night, and there's no amount of AC or music or TV to dull the noise. Let's talk about the fires they often start. We spoke to family in North Carolina this a.m. and they said the sound of rapid firing/automatic weapons rattled the night sky. It's funny that many people don't even know what the 4th of July holiday is for. How did you all do last night and what part of the country are you in?
