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.

Let me start off by saying that Freddy is an absolutely wonderful dog. If you’re reading this and thinking that he’s probably “very aggressive” because he’s a pit bull, you’d be completely wrong. Freddy is the most kind dog I’ve met here at the animal […]
By Jashel Negron Blog Content Contributor Name: Nathan Age: 2 years Breed: English and American Bulldog Favorite Toy: Tennis Ball (or anything round) During my time spent with Nathan, I can honestly say that he is simply the best dog ever. He loves to play fetch (even though he might need a little work bringing it back to you). He loves treats and just might tackle you down if he […]
By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor What’s better than playing games with pets? You could say that playing games for pets that are in need might be.
