Shelter Sunday: Cleveland Browns Pound Puppies
If you’re a football fan, you might know that Cleveland Browns fans sit in the Dawg Pound endzone and that the team mascot is a Dawg.
So it only makes sense they would use their training camp to encourage dog adoptions. For the 7th year, they have partnered with Sugardale Foods to bring puppies from the NE Ohio SPCA to camp for fans to adopt. Continue reading Shelter Sunday: Cleveland Browns Pound Puppies

Friday Funny: Artwork
I spend a lot of (probably too much) time enjoying the tweets from Room Rater, where they often talk about the importance of artwork. Wonder how they’d rate this?
Happy weekend!

Shelter Sunday: Anemone / Hope Animal Rescue / Maxwell, IA
Meet Anemone! She is said to be good with kids, cats, and other dogs. Here’s what her rescuers have to say about her:Anemone is a sweet little 8 week old girl. She is still learning the ropes on potty training, she just isn’t too sure of this Iowa snow! She and her sister Amaryllis love to snuggle up on the couch with the other pups in the house and take long naps. If you’re looking for a cuddle buddy Anemone would be your girl!
APPLICANTS FARTHER THAN 45 MINUTES FROM DES MOINES WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR ADOPTION DUE TO THE VETTING REQUIREMENTS OF PUPPIES UNDER 4 MONTHS OF AGE. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY.
Anemone and Amaryllis are two female terrier mix puppies rescued from Oklahoma high kill shelters. They were born in Nov’20 and working on potty training.
Anemone is currently a guest at Hope Animal Rescue in Maxwell, Iowa. If you’re lucky enough to be nearby, why not contact the shelter to find out more about Anemone and all of her friends. I may have to move to Des Moines so I can get her in her cute little PJs! If you beat me to it, you can send an email to [email protected] or fill out an online application.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Friday Funny: Shoe Nap
Family feet smell good! Nice and relaxing.
Why chew ’em when you can sleep in ’em?
Happy weekend, friends!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Pandemic Puppy Scam
Tips to avoid a scam:
Never buy online. You want to see both the puppy and its parents up close and in person.
Ask lots of questions of the breeder, and expect them to ask you questions, too.
A reputable breeder will not have more than 2 – 3 breeds they deal with. They should be experts in the breeds they sell.
A reputable breeder will not have more than a litter or two at a time. Puppies are a lot of work, and giving them a proper start in life requires a lot of time.
Make sure you see health records of the parents and the puppy.
Expect the breeder to have a waiting list.
Know that you may not get a puppy quickly. This is a 10 – 15 year commitment, so you don’t need to finalize the decision today. Take the time to get it right.
Last, but not least, NO PUPPIES UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
