Are you guys as in love with the show “Glee” as I am? My husband and I watch it religiously and can’t wait for it to come back in April. My husband is even ok with the major crush I have on Matthew Morrison because he has a crush on Lea Michele! The show appeals [...]
A year ago today we rescued Stella…our lovable, slightly crazy little girl! I still can’t believe that Don agreed to get a third dog! She came to the rescue we got her from as a surrender from a puppy mill. Apparently she was the result of an accidental breeding between an Italian Greyhound and a [...]
This article from Fox News in Las Vegas puts a smile on my face. I think we should start a trend…even if you’re not adopting a dog, I think we should all call up our local shelter and donate the equivalent of one adoption fee. Whether you “pay it forward” like the people did in [...]
Who doesn’t like the story of 101 Dalmatians? It’s fantastic and has sparked a love for dogs in many children. Now you can see it come to life on the stage! Normally this would make me nervous. It’s no secret that after any dog movie or event comes out (ie Beverly Hills Chihuahua), the number [...]

Believe it or not, I’m not really into the whole Twilight thing. I haven’t read the books, nor have I seen the movies. In fact, I’m almost anti-Twilight because it seems to be everywhere and it’s just overkill. HOWEVER…I’m thinking of reconsidering my stance after watching Kellan Lutz on Ellen and the Bonnie Hunt Show. [...]
Four years ago we adopted Leroy from the Nebraska Humane Society! He’s such a sweet boy and I can’t imagine my life without him! I’m telling you, rescuing/adopting is so rewarding. I’m just so glad that he’s a part of our family!

Even though I’m a small dog owner, I have a lot of love for all sizes of dogs. I’m saddened by the stereotypes of certain breeds that lead to unfair laws that hurt innocent dogs. As a trainer I know once said, you can make a golden retriever into an aggressive dog, it’s all in [...]
So the first rescue group drawn for our Giveaway Challenge was Hearts United for Animals, submitted by Dan Bliss. I was excited to see this charity link submitted because I am familiar with their work. These guys LOVE dogs and have a PASSION for educating people about the evils of puppymills/animal cruelty and the joys [...]

So who here is watching Dogtown on the National Geographic Channel? If you’re not, you should be! I was hesitant to watch it at first because anything sad about dogs leaves me depressed for days! What I love about this show is that it’s actually quite heartwarming. For those of you who are not familiar [...]
This coat by Kaschi is so stinkin cute! I love finding coats that really cover and keep dogs warm. They also have a similar coat in blue for boys! Go check them out at District Dog, a boutique and online store that promotes adopting animals from shelters and rescues! As always, tell them that A.G. [...]
I found a great site, called Look to the Stars that shows what charities celebrities donate to! There is a whole page donated to animal charities and a lot of dog rescue groups make the list! Here are a few of the stars who donate to the rescue cause:
Adam Sandler- Animal Rescue Foundation
Clint Eastwood, Bill [...]

My little man is four today! He was my first rescue dog and it was such a rewarding experience! He was found wandering around the parking lot at Nebraska Furniture Mart in Omaha, NE. and was taken to the Nebraska Humane Society. I just happened to look on their website one day and left work [...]
Can I tell you how much I love Bonnie Hunt? Not only is she witty, kind-hearted, and creative…but she also does great things for dogs! She’s been profiling rescue dogs up for adoption on her show and I just LOVE it!
She also is one who practices what she preaches! All of the dogs she’s had [...]
Go check out shopmollyd on Etsy! She has a number of cute dog things, but my favorite are these little hand drawn keychains! These two look a little like Zoey and Stella! There are other breeds available too and she will also custom design keychains from your dog’s picture! Best of all, she’s a [...]
Here’s a great story for kids ages 4-8 about a family who goes to an animal shelter to get a new puppy! Find it HERE and proceeds go to the ASPCA!
After watching Jon & Kate Plus 8 last week I was furious and HAD to talk about it. They got not one, but two German Shepherd puppies from a Backyard Breeder, yet seemed to be completely uneducated about/prepared for dog ownership. I see that on tonight’s show they have to bring one of their new dogs to [...]

If you know anything about me at this point, you should know that I love great people and organizations that rescue animals. Even in the rescue world, a lot of people are looking to rescue purebreds or puppies. Not too many people think about rescuing a disabled animal.
That’s where the Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary [...]
Meet Sadie! She is Oprah’s new RESCUE puppy!!! What an adorable little cocker spaniel she is! She was adopted from PAWS Chicago, an amazing no kill organization!
I love Oprah for staying with the message to rescue instead of going to a pet store. The fact is that there are millions of homeless animals-why not help [...]
