new puppies

[Guest guest]

There are some fabulous resources on the Internet. Rescuing an adult,

mixed-breed dog from your local shelter means you are saving a precious

life, avoiding Puppy House Destruction, avoiding the long list of health

problems that inbred purebreds come with, and you're not supporting the

purebred dog world (profit and cruelty over animals and kindness).

 

My favorite is the new Dog Blog by Karen P. Today's entry is

particularly poignant, about dogs in back yards:

She also talks about communicating with your best friend, holistic

treatments, etc.

 

General doggie advice, from puppy house training to " speaking dog " to

what to feed them:

Here's some more information about feeding dogs a vegan diet:

I have been feeding dogs vegan diets since 1997, as have most of my

dog-loving friends. Dogs thrive on good healthy vegan food, love and

affection, exercise and fresh air.

 

If you have a friend or neighbor who is really stuck on a particular

breed of dog, please encourage them to go to the breed rescue groups

instead of breeders. There are rescue groups for dogs from chihuahuas

to St. Bernards. JK Rowling, author of Harry Potter, just adopted an

adult greyhound from a greyhound rescue group and the entire family is

thrilled:

Check out the pictures on the Harry Potter page. Adorable!
