April 17, 2013 This is Sage, a German Shepherd Dog that had been given up on by her owners and turned into the animal shelter. She was an "owner surrender" which means her owners signed over their ownership to the animal shelter. The reason given: they said she was blind, deaf and could no longer get around. Once an animal is signed over to the shelter, they can put it up for adoption or euthanize it on the spot.
April 16, 2013 Diesel is a sable colored Shar-Pei mix. At less than one year old he is approximately 45 pounds. Once he fills out he should be around 55-60 pounds. Diesel is lovable, sweet and has a calm-nature. He is a dog that loves to cuddle.
Diesel is already neutered and up to date on vaccinations so his adoption fee will be only $40. He is a great guard. He has spent a little time in the house with no accidents. Gets along well with little dogs, not so much with the big ones though.
April 11, 2013 Yesterday was National Siblings Day. I was too busy to put this blog together and decided today that I wanted to do it anyway. Going through all of my online family photos in preparation of this blog has been very enjoyable. It also has reminded me of all the fun that I have had with my brothers and sisters.
April 9, 2013 Sparky is a less than 1 year old very smart German shepherd mix pup. He walks well on a leash and enjoys playing with people. He will play fetch with a ball and bring it right back to you. He seems eager to learn new games.
Sparky's colors are stunning. His personality would fit into any family that is looking for a wonderful companion and play buddy. He would need some work before you introduce him to any smaller dog buddies because he plays a rough for the little dogs.
Meet Johnson, a sweet and mild-mannered Labrador retriever mix ready for his forever home.

Everyone knows that St. Patrick’s Day is the one day out of the year when we’re all Irish. And, apparently that translates into wearing anything green and silly we can get our hands on and having as much to drink as we can carry at one time. But, there’s another strange tradition that has developed in celebration of this day. We can't explain it. Are Irish people really that into unnaturally green food?
With St. Patrick's Day coming up, everyone is suddenly discovering their Irish heritage. Ever the bandwagon jumpers, celebrities are also likely to be wearing green this Saturday. (You know Kim Kardashian will.) But there are plenty of celebs who can actually claim Irish roots.
Sure, you know that Bono and Colin Farrell like to throw back a pint and chow down on Irish stew. But there are plenty of other celebrities whose Irish backgrounds might surprise you. Take a look at a few famous faces who have the luck o' the Irish in 'em.
March 12, 2013 Two big dogs are looking for new homes today for our Provide a Pet a Pad weekly spotlight: Leon and Rosco. Big dogs with big hearts. If you are looking for a great family dog you have hit the jackpot!
March 5, 2013 Rose is a super cute puppy. She is approximately 12 weeks old. She is mixed puppy, possibly with some sort of shepherd. She will be a large dog. She currently weighs 20 pounds. Rose is very loving and a smart girl. She is crate trained and working on leash training. Very happy, playful dog. She plays well with other dogs.
February 20, 2013 There are so puppies at the shelter right now. It seems the Spring baby season is here early. There are at least 4 litters of babies with their mommas. So far only one litter is on the adoption floor—there just is not enough room for all of the animals. From small breed dogs to large breed dogs. Please take a look at these photos and see if there is a dog or cat that you could make room for in your home.
February 20, 2013 German Shepherds are my favorite breed so the new show on National Geographic Wild is perfect for me. 'Alpha Dogs' is a great show if you like to watch people being taken down by trained dogs. For some reason I get satisfaction out of watching a drug sniffing dog do his job.
