Rusty

Pam and Deb sent me this picture of their adorable dog (click to enlarge). According to the vet, Rusty is most likely a Dachshund/Jack Russell Terrier mix. Here's his story:

My partner and I were coming home from visiting her parents in Eastern WA. one day about 5 months ago, and out in the middle of nowhere, we came upon Rusty on the side of the highway. We were afraid he was going to get run over, so we stopped to see what we could do. More...

Pretty Shila

Luke
"Luke is a 12 year old border collie, born in Plain City, Utah. His favorite activity is going for his daily walk. Luke has a great spirit & a noble manner. He is always ready for activity & lets you know by giving you "the Border Collie eye." Luke grew up playing Frisbee and excelled at this until he was sidelined with hip dysplasia. He has also helped many people in nursing homes by being a therapy dog. Everyone should be so lucky to have a companion like Luke in their lives. He is a great joy!" —Carrie & Jo

Abbey
"Abbey is an 8 year old Dalmatian, born in Salt Lake City, Utah. Abbey is the entertainer of the family. She's always doing something that either makes you laugh or leaves you shaking your head. Her favorite play game is to grab a stick and run around like a speeding bullet. She's very fast and agile. Abbey has also been a therapy dog and was responsible for getting a woman to speak as she petted her (she hadn't spoken a word for months until Abbey visited her nursing home). Now, while the residents received a lot from Abbey's visits, Abbey was looking for something, too—treats, which she was great at finding. Food is truly Abbey's passion in life." —Carrie & Jo

Georgie
"Georgie is a 5 year old tomcat born on the streets of Logan, Utah. We adopted him from the local Humane Society when he was about 6 months old. Georgie loves to be cuddled and petted anytime, anywhere he can get it. He's the neighborhood's social butterfly, loving to visit the neighbors just to say "Hello!" He loves to catch mice, and, unfortunately, birds, too. He gets along very well with dogs and will seek out dogs he sees outside to be buddies with. Maybe he secretly wants to be a dog! Who knows?" —Carrie & Jo
