Thinking about fostering an adoptable dog?
Before you start fostering it's also important you have all the necessary supplies. A quick visit to a pet store can get you everything you'll need. I found that out with the first animal I fostered. I had forgotten to get a litterbox! Luckily, it was easily remedied. ( http://aquaworldpittsburgh.com )

Chow Chow Australian Shepherd Mix
Tomorrow, me and my family have decided to go check out a dog, and see if he suits our family.
I have been interested in him, and a few other dogs for a while, and sadly most of those dogs have been singled out. (To big, a Pit Bull, etc. I wanted the Pit, my my was against it tho)
The dog we are considering is a male Chow Chow Australian Shepherd Mix. (CCASM) He is good with kids, dogs and most likely good wit... (continued)

10 dog breeds that love the water
I have 2 Vizslas and they love the water. We have a boat on Lake Michigan and they can hardly wait to jump in the lake for a swim. We have a pool at home too. If I open the cover they are in the pool before it fully opens. Our other Vizsla that pasted on love the water too.

Embrace your dog, just not literally
I have had dogs in the past that I would agree with the no hugging, but we have a pit bull that, especially with children, actually snuggles up to your chest like he wants you to hug him. I have never had a dog like him other than another pit that we used to have. Is it just the breed? I have noticed that they tend to be overly affectionate, especially the males and more with children, or at least ours have been. I... (continued)

Can the Michael Vick dogs be saved? At Best Friends, the answer is yes
This was really interesting, I skipped some of it. But I would really like to hear more about Timmy and the girl that drove him home. It sounds like a really cool place! I am so sad about how all these animals are abused every single SECOND! About 10 million are being abused right now. (I think that is right.)

How to train a dog to live outside the house?
I have a chocolate lab approx. 7 years old. My husband adopted him 41/2 yrs ago before he got married. Since then, he only live inside the house except going for walk. The dog doesn't like to go out to the backyard nor anywhere by himself.
I need to train him to live outside the house in a kennel because I have extremely allergy to dog. Does anyone out there can share information how to train him to live outside the house?
Thanks.

Northwest Animal Rescue Alliance in Oregon--BUYER BEWARE
I am writing to let you know that an organization here in Oregon which lists its pets online has not acted responsibly.
I adopted a dog from the Northwest Animal Rescue Alliance of Salem this spring. It was soon apparent that the pup had parvo, and I spent thousands (no typo) keeping him alive. He is OK now, but during his illness, the two
contact women for the group assured me that the group would refund my

Is it ok to beat your dog when training it?
i just got a new dog and would like to know if beating when it does something bad is the only effective way to train it?
ok if theres one thing I hate, its a dog that doesn't listen. If my dog starts doing something like scratching at a door, what alternatives are there other than yelling at it and hitting it? If I do that, then he'll associate me yelling at him with pain. Then hopefully the next time he does some... (continued)
