Vicky of Vicky’s Pet Connection specializes in rescuing pregnant moms or moms with young puppies. She’ll also look at adult dogs and single puppies but the majority of the dogs she takes in are pregnant or have puppies.
Over the course of pregnancy and then raising puppies until they’re eight weeks old Vicky gets to know [...]

Our current foster dog Daisy was rescued from a shelter a little over an hour away. She had been there for almost a month without being adopted. She came into the shelter as a stray.
We’ve had Daisy since Sunday morning. When she arrived she enjoyed running around in the backyard. But she seems to enjoy [...]

Yesterday after Andrew got home from work he brushed the dogs. I took this opportunity to take some photos. Beacon and Haven have been shedding a lot the last couple of weeks. They typically get rid of a lot of hair at once twice a year when it gets hot and [...]

Last night Andrew and I went to visit Amber. She was with us from March 5 – 11, 2007. Although we did not have her for very long she was one of our favorite foster dogs. She got along well with Beacon and Haven from the beginning. She fit into our schedule and home easily. [...]
