With the recent heat wave, some may focus on keeping cool themselves and possibly forget about their furry companions. I’ve compiled a few helpful tips for the purpose of healthy snouts and tails. Hydration It’s no secret that the heat can make you thirsty. […]
By Danielle RubioWeb Content Contributor From my knowledge with working with animals, specifically dogs, no one wants an old dog. Everyone has “puppy fever” and wants to be able to teach them new tricks and hope they stay little forever. However, that’s not realistic.

By Emily GarzaWeb Content Contributor For International Woman’s Day, I want to highlight my favorite YouTuber, Jenna Marbles. I have been a fan of Marbles and her boyfriend, Julien Solomita, for about three years now. As of now, they own four dogs: Marble, Kermit, Peach and Bunny. Each one of them, except for Bunny (which they recently found out), are a Gemini and Bunny is a Pieces. Marbles is a […]
By Piper BlakeAssistant Web Content Manager It’s every parent’s fear, that once they break and allow their child to get a puppy, it will turn into the real-life version of Cujo. An article from The New Yorker describes this perfectly in another Stephen King reference. Colin Nissan uses “Pet Cemetery” --a horror film about the resurrection of a dead cat and then a dead boy-- to describe all of the responsibilities his child […]

By Jashel Negron Blog Content Contributor Name: Margo Age: 1 year old Breed: Great Pyrenees and Retriever Mix This week, I was able to meet this super lovable dog, Margo. The first thing I want to say about Margo is that she absolutely loves to be pet. She was extremely shy and actually didn’t want to be taken out for a walk, but my guess was that she was intimidated […]

By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor Just in case you didn’t know, breakups suck. Whether your former partner dumps you, you dump them or the breakup is mutual, ending a relationship with someone you truly care about can be painful. Unfortunately, I know this all too well. For the past few months, I’ve been living through that pain. Although I chose to hide my struggle to the best of my […]
By Jashel Negron Blog Content Contributor Name: Ernesto Age: 1-year-old Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix Ernesto caught my attention because of the scars he had across his back. I knew when I saw him that I wanted to see how he reacted around people because I wasn’t sure what those scars were specifically from. Once I took him out I noticed he was very friendly. He wasn’t necessarily scared of […]
