I rejoined my local animal shelter's volunteer program a few months ago (long story as to why I quit in the first place). One day while I was volunteering I met a little pit bull puppy who was recovering from a spaying. The puppy seemed too thin to me so I asked about her story. All eight of the puppies were in foster care.

A New York Times story that ran in 2001 about a homeless dog wandering around a suburban part of New York City, struck a chord with me. They offered him hand-outs and cared enough about him, not to call Animal Control and risk having him picked up and sent to a shelter where his fate would be doomed. See the trailer: [link].

At an NYC puppy shelter a few weeks ago, my mind was just about made up when I met Chester – The cutest Lab puppy I’d ever seen. His large pouty eyes, silky fur-coat, and silly little paws on which he fumbled all over the hay-covered kennel, lured me in like a dog to a bone. Don’t let the dog eat your homework.

A puppy at a shelter in Oklahoma survived being euthanized (sadly, the same can’t be said for the little pups siblings). Now named Wall-E, the puppy has a Facebook page, and tons of people lined up to adopt him. Stories like this, of dogs overcoming amazing odds, are both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

Water Dog puppy Bo. Some are saying that President Obama broke his promise to get a rescue dog. Others are accusing him of getting a dog from a breeder. Bo is not really a rescue dog. It's his own dog's sibling and I think it was a symbol of political alliance as well. Tags: breeders Obama dogs.

She came from another shelter as a stray, had been abused, was very skinny, and she was extremely shy and afraid of everyone. Ever since I got her, she’s been an absolutely wonderful dog. I named her Angel. At 1:30 a.m.

The Shift: Instead of buying your new friend from a pet store or breeder, adopt one from a shelter. Save the Planet: Adopting a shelter pet not only saves a life, but it reduces demand for purebred animals, which are more likely to have medical problems due to genetic abnormalities. Early Adopter.
