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 )

Top 10 dog care essentials
I disagree with one thing. Do not ask your vet about what to feed your dog. They are not trained on nutrition. Learn how to read a dog food panel. Compare ingredients. Your local pet supply store should be able to help with this better than your vet. Beware of online oppinions. Remember dog food companies will all tell you that their food is the best. Beniful is a perfect example. The comercials tell you i... (continued)

Importance of starting training early
I have fostered dogs for a variety of canine rescues over the past several years. It is truly unfortunate that some pets are not viewed as true family members so end up having aggression and behavior problems. Smaller breeds require the same level of discipline as lager breeds or same issues arise. If formal training is not a viable option due to expense there are many different avenues of training available. I f... (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.)

Dog Sharing ?
I have recently found out about dog sharing, where people who can't cope through illness or infirmity or because they are suddenly working away or for whatever reason are finding it hard not to neglect their dog and wonder what to do about it. So dog sharing is where you share the care of your dog with someone else in the local community. It could be anything from occassional walks to a second home and anything in ... (continued)

Feeding a puppy
IMHO, from my experience you don’t necessarily have to feed different foods for puppies and adults. A few natural brands have an all life-stages philosophy and manufacture food you can raise your dog on and never have to go through the process of switching when they reach “adulthood” and possibly have to deal with all the digestion and diarrhea issues that go along with that. In the wild, puppies and adult dogs ... (continued)
