On December 24, 2008 a fellow animal rescuer friend of mine died of cancer...on her death bed she asked her ex-husband to please call Kris Kelly to save her babies. I got the dreaded call the day after Christmas. I went to the Northridge home the very next day. To my surprise there were 80 ++ cats...

I need some advice. My roommate moved out at the beginning of December 2003 (over a year ago). His plan was to move to Switzerland, and he asked if I could care for his two Siamese cats for a while, until he could get things squared away and find out how to get them over there. I agreed, since I...

Hi all, I am thinking about getting a Great Dane. No worries......I live in the country and have lots of space. Can anyone tell me anything about the breed? Are they good with horses...children....cats and other dogs? Thanks for your input... Liz

My 4 1/2 year old lab tore a ligament and now needs ACL surgery. It's been two weeks since the injury. At first, I thought it might be a sprain, but since it wasn't improving, I brought her to the vet yesterday and she was diagnosed. The surgery was quoted at $2,100. I was wondering if I should...

Warning.. this is LONG! I just wanted to preface this with the fact that I'm actually a dog person who "knows better" than to buy a designer dog. I know all about responsible breeders, genetic health testing, myths of hybrid vigor, backyard breeders, etc etc. A few years ago, I would never...

I have been a long-time lurker on this newsgroup. My husband and I are trying to adopt a pointer puppy and we have tried and hopefully found a responsible breeder. We decided on a pointer after going to a local dog show and talking to many different handlers and owners about their dogs. Some...

My girlfriend's brother has a four year old female Rottweiler that he doesn't have enough time for anymore and he wants to know if we would like to adopt her. I'm apprehensive about bringing such a large dog into the house though. We have two middle-aged cats. The dog has a good disposition in...

I'm hoping the knowledgeable people here can help me. A bit of background: My boyfriend's mother just told him that she's getting him a Cairn terrier puppy for his birthday. (Their previous dog, also a Cairn, died earlier this year at a ripe old age.) We are in the New York City area, and the...

Let me just say WOW first of all. I've never seen so many BCs in my life let alone all gathered in one area. Amie because dogwalker for a 6mo named Smarty Jones. He is a supersweet rough coated tri. I never realized how skinny-minnie these dogs are under the fluff of the rought coats. ...

I'm so hooked after two days of being at this trial and talking to all these people and watching all the fun and meeting all these dogs and seeing Amie's excitement mirror my own that I'm speaking in runon sentences! I've been interested for a few years but this trial, spending two days mingling,...
