"HAPPY NOW - Linda Blair enjoys some time with Happy, a hound mix rescued in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, at her Linda Blair World Heart Foundation site in Acton. Blair takes in dogs that have been abused, neglected and abandoned, and rehabilitates them before they are adopted." MOLLY HAUXWELL/Valley Press

I’ve got no problem with animal rescue programs. Both of my muts are rescue dogs.

It took me a few seconds to understand why Johnny Depp had pitbulls when he has kids.

Best Friends has been rehabilitating some of Michael Vick’s dogs (whom they call the “Vicktory Dogs”), and they’ve had a lot of success. One of their stories is linked below.

This has about as good a summary of the dog’s character as I have seen.

You don’t breed the bad out of the dog. You breed the good in.

That's what Caesar says, The Dog Whisperer.

He says he helps dog who have people problems, because we all seem to want our pets to have human attitudes and characteristics. They are animals people, and until people stop trying to make fluffy a little kid, fluffy is going to be confused and not truly happy. Dogs and cats like being dogs and cats.

Many times, when people get a dog or a cat they are ill prepared for the realization that this is a 10 to 15 year commitment, and when the dog or cat acts like a dog or cat they don't know what to do. They really expect the animal to entertain and care for itself. So once the novelty of owning a new pet wares off, they drop it off at the pound or set it free in someones neighborhood hoping it will be adopted by someone better then they are.
