Featured Rescue - Sam the Schnauzer

Today's Featured Rescue is inspired by my posts from the last two days.



His name is Sam.




Sam is an adult dog who hasn't had the easiest go yet, but the rescue where he is being kept is trying their best to find him a comfortable home. Sam, or Sammy as he has come to be known in rescue, will need a bit of training and some behavioural work from the sounds of it, but don't let that deter

"His Name Is Sam" Part 2


I read the sign on the door. "Euthanasia Area." "Do you want to see one?" he asked. Before I could decline, he interjected, "You really should. You can't tell the whole story unless you experience the end." I

His Name is Sam ... Part 1

I ran across this and thought it holds a VERY important message. I found it while I was parusing through a forum. I have decided to publish it in two parts though because it is so long and I have to edit it as I go (I only have so much time!). It was posted in the forum in two parts and I will keep to that format here. I hope you take the time to read both.

Ontario Private Bill to Repeal BSL

I read this on the Dog Legislation Council of Canada (DLCC) website. Turn's out an MPP is putting forth a private bill to repeal the breed part out of the Dog Owner's Liability Act (DOLA). I do not agree with BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) and have blogged about both sides of the argument in the past.

Friday the 13th ... yet another excuse

Every day people blame either me or their computers for things. Such is the life of a computer technician. I've had people scream at me. Yell at me. Threaten me. Follow me to my truck. I accept this. It's my day job. Much of the time they could fix the problems themselves if they just sat down and tried. But most don't want to try. It's easier just to have someone else do it for them. It's also

Featured Rescue - Alley the Labrador Retriever

It's been a while since I posted a Labrador as a Featured Rescue so I thought I'd have one today. There are 20,532 Labradors currently looking for new homes in North America. HOLY JUMPIN'! That number does not include the dogs in municipal pounds that get euthanized after a few days. It is only the ones listed in rescues by those interested in posting on Petfinder.




This is Alley. She is 10
