This was my best boy, Justy Blue. Justy was a retired racing Greyhound that I adopted through Maine Greyhound Placement Service. He was a true gentleman, a real sweetheart, and brought us so much joy. For the right person or family, it is my belief that retired Greyhounds make the most wonderful pet, the only major restriction being that you just can't let them run loose. Thousands of years of breeding and a lifetime of training to chase small fast moving objects can't be undone. Justy came to us at the age of five, which is the mandatory retirement age, and ruled the household as a "thirty mile-an-hour couch potato" for the rest of his life. Love ya, Ja Boo!!

This is my little Rascal. This is how she looked when we rescued her. She was to be euthanized the next day. Underneath all that hair was a purebred miniature schnauzer.

She is the smartest dog that has ever owned us.
Almost every day for 5 years she visited the dementia unit where my dad lived. The residents on the floor didn't know if they had eaten lunch but they remembered Rascal's name. She would jump in their laps and beg for constant scratching. She was the one thing that put a smile on my dad's face.

Rascal lights up everyone's world.

This is Haku, she is an Japanese Spitz (american eskimo) dog. I one day walked into PetSmart to buy a bird toy, and I walked out with a dog. This happened because a woman was walking a cute little fluffy dog and I said "Oh, that's a cute dog". The lady asked if I wanted it, and I, startled, said no, I didn't need a dog. I had a dear Shetland Sheepdog pass away a few years previously. She was 12 yrs old and had been killed by another dog. I didn't want any more dogs. The lady went on to tell me this dog's story, and it was heartbreaking. A man had turned this dog and another dog like her, plus two cats, loose in a park. I don't know what happened to the cats, but the other dog got killed (we think they drowned it in the creek) and this was the only one left. She survived in the park for a month, and through the tail end of a hurricane. The animal control couldn't catch her, so they gave up. This woman lured the dog into her car with hot dog. She asked animal control if they wanted Haku but they said no. In the lady's house, however, Haku (AKA "Baby Dog" as she was called in that household) was being harassed by the woman's German Shepard dog. I adopted that dog the very same day.

This is one of my Pomeranians; Minnie. She has been with us since 1997 and will be 14 this year.
