10,000 Birds

MARCH 25, 2016

4 The Love Of Animals

OCTOBER 28, 2011

Many pet owners are able to enjoy their pets for the entire duration of the animal’s life. This is great news for owners who have pets who have a long life span, such as dogs, cats and many other creatures. However, it becomes a problem for the animal when the owner decides that he can no longer keep the pet.

4 The Love Of Animals

MARCH 3, 2010

In literature as well as life, the ideal is the safely rescued animal finds the perfect home and becomes the perfect pet. My second favorite rescue story is that of Hunter, a beagle-ish dog that my daughter and son-in-law adopted from a shelter in Massachusetts. The work of shelters and breed rescue organizations is vital.
