You knew I couldn’t resist a Vizsla rescue. I have never understood why someone would give up such a beautiful dog. Here’s the web site for Utah/Idaho Vizsla Rescue where you can see tons of pictures of our featured dog this week.

You all know how much I enjoy taking my dogs to Bow Wow Beach in Stow, Ohio. But if I were traveling, I might find this app really enticing.
Powered by DogParkUSA.com, the new Dog Park Finder Plus iPhone App compiles photos and reviews to give you all the information you need for a quick trip to the dog park or for a vacation across the country with your pooch. The
Dog Park Finder Plus app displays local dog parks and search results in both map and list pages. Park details include user ratings, fenced and un-fenced markers, on-leash rules, hours and days of operation and many other features.
While we were wandering around the Stark County Fair yesterday, we saw a man walking this beautiful dog. His name is Diesel, and he’s a mix of Boxer and Pit Bull. Seems his new buddy, Dave, has a friend who works at the Humane Society. Diesel was about to be put down, but Dave decided he needed a new friend. What a great way to celebrate Labor Day weekend!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
I received this via e-mail, and thought those of you in the Northeast might be interested. What a great way to get some professional photos done of your best friend.
Meet Bruno! Bruno is a lucky dog because he lives in Hawaii! However, he is looking for a forever home, and I’m thinking he’d go just about anywhere to find it.

From the Charleston Daily Mail: An event is being held on Labor Day to raise money for the Putnam Animal Relief Fund to build a new shelter in Putnam County.
Dogs are invited to swim from 6 to 8 p.m. Labor Day at Valley Park Wave Pool. Donations will be accepted at the door toward building the new shelter.
On a related note (and I have to include this because it concerns my employer, American Electric Power): There will be a softball game at 6 p.m. Sept. 23 at Valley Park in Hurricane. It will pit the Putnam Animal Relief Center Pounders against the AEP John Amos Plant Scrubbers. The teams pay to play, and donations will be accepted from spectators.
For more information on either event, call Karen Haynes at 304-757-7584.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
I’d like to start a feature on the first of every month, listing events and fundraisers going on at various local shelters for the month. Kind of a community calendar, if you will.
Here’s what I have for September.
Lucky Dog Animal Rescue of Washington, DC is having a wine and cheese adoption event on Saturday, September 4th from 5 – 7 pm at the Old City Green (right by Wagtime across from the DC Convention Center).
Basset Rescue Network at Daphneyland in Los Angeles is having a Waddle at the Santa Monica Pier on September 19th. Bring your favorite hound to the pier and learn the basset waddle!
Adopt-A-Dog Inc. of Armonk, CT is having their 23rd annual dog show and festival called Puttin’ On the Dog on September 25th (rain date is the 26th) at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich from 10 – 5.
If you know of any shelter goings-on, please let me know no later than the 25th of the preceding month so I can include them here.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Meet Molly! According to Homeward Bound’s web site:
Molly somehow ended up at Gilmer County Animal Control pregnant and on borrowed time. Her days were running out and she was about ready to pop! We saved Ms. Molly from animal control on 5/7/10 and on 5/9/10 she gave birth to 9 happy healthy babies at her foster home. Ms. Molly is now ready for adoption and she needs her own home where she can get some loving! Molly was a good mom. Molly is pretty much fully housebroken. She is protective and has the typical hound dog howl and bark. She gets along well with other dogs but will sometimes growl or bark at them but is not aggressive with them. We are guessing that Molly is a Red Tick Coonhound mix. She is about 56 pounds and has beautiful red ticking. Molly is an older girl probably 5 years old. She is spayed, current on vaccines, dewormed and heartworm negative. She has been started on heartworm and flea preventative. Her adoption fee is $175.00. If you are interested in adopting Molly please complete an online Adoption Form. This dog is microchipped with a Home Again microchip.
Homeward Bound’s goal is to reduce the number of stray cats and dogs in their community through education programs, referral lists for neighboring shelters and rescue groups, and by offering cost-effective spay/neuter programs for those in need of financial assistance. Since August 29, 2000, they have rescued and adopted out 3,501 animals!
If you’ll be in Georgia soon, why not call Homeward Bound at (706) 698-HOME to set up a time to meet Molly and her friends.
If you’re somewhere else, check out local animals available for adoption at PetFinder’s Shelter Center.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Meet Cami, a proud resident of the Sunshine State. I chose to feature her today because she could be the twin sister of Lady, the dog I grew up with.
