WELCOME,
This is a new Blog about Dogs! We are just getting started.
We hope everyone will share their stories about their pets and help more dogs and cats find great homes. Through these stories a future dog owner might find their best match.
If you love a Pug tell us why. If you have a mixed breed tell us all about it. There are so many dogs and cats hoping for a home. Please add your story.
Blackjack is the poster boy for mixed breed dogs – I don’t know what he is but he is a great friend!
Adopted from Lost Dog Rescue – Aug. 2008.

Halloween is coming soon and all our pets are in extra danger from pranksters. Keep your pet in and protected. Watch the candy because most of it will make your pets sick – and at the very least the trots.
The puppies Scotty and Stampy are 4 months now and just received their Rabies Vaccination. They weighed in at 23 lbs. a gain of about 9 lbs in 4 weeks – I am still thinking their adult weight will be 45lbs.
Blackjack is about 50 pounds, very soft fur, friendly with family, dogs and guests. Always sits by me and squeezes in between when I am scratching Rangers back. What mix do you think he looks like?
