Places where special pets can make Miracles Happen…

Featuring:

Imagine all the places where our special animals could save lives by giving back a reason to live: veterans' hospitals, nursing homes, children's cancer wards, a special area of hospitals where patients could come to just revel in the sweetness that our dear animals exude! There's a reason that d-o-g spelled in reverse is G-o-d! Let's consider our pets when we consider ways in which to volunteer. We are already the recipients of angels in fur clothing; why not find ways to share this miracle? I'… read more

One Of My Relatives Is Brave

Featuring:

Blue fights off gator to save his fallen owner, July 27, 2001. (Note from Wiggles Blue Heeler: Blue must be related to me! Mom says we sure look alike, and Mom knows that I'd defend her in a New York minute against anything that might be foolish enough to try to harm her.

God Bless You, ZooToo!

Featuring:

I only learned about ZooToo.com and the Shelter Makeover Contest on March 19th, so have only been working on helping my shelter, Humane Society of Madison County (Ohio) aka HSMC, for twelve days, but in that short time, what I've gained from ZooToo has been priceless. I've made new friends, come to learn a lot more pet news, health items, pet products and services, and feel like I've become a much better person and one better able to be Wiggles Blue Heeler's human 'mom.' My heart… read more
