Little One and I went to Little Victories yesterday to learn about their socialization program and meet the dogs we’re going to help get ready for their future families.

Little Victories is Looking for Volunteers

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

My younger daughter and I will be volunteering to help keep a dog “socialized” at Little Victories Animal Rescue. I’m grateful to have found a way to volunteer my time that also helps me spend time with my quickly growing child.
Here are more details from Beth Rankin:
“Many of the dogs who arrive at Little […]

Meet Beau Bridges

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

In the first in what I hope becomes a series here on The Scoop, I want to share with you the story of a pet who needs a home — and let’s try to get him one, OK?  I went to the Little Victories Animal Rescue Group and met Beau Bridges, a Pitt Bull […]

Your Dog Asked Me to Show You This

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

Just in case you’d forgotten, dogs love:

Getting to ride in the car.
Going someplace that is NOT the vet’s office.
Playing in water.
Socializing with other dogs away from home.
Being with you.

Oh, It’s the Wiener Dogs

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

FestivALL is still going on with lots of exciting things for the whole family.  This is all about ART, and as West Virginians (in my humble opinion) are an incredibly creative lot, there’s a lot to see and do!
FestivALL celebrates theater, dance, music and visual arts.  It’s about expressing yourself and appreciating what is unique […]

My dogs are HUGE fans of Bark at the Park! Valley Park is very dog friendly and even has doggie “clean up” bags available for when nature calls, just in case you forget your own. Valley Park’s extensive […]

Because We Love Our Putnam Pets

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Today I was reminded yet again how much I love my furry kids — 3 cats and 2 dogs. Each and every one of them is a pet that someone else didn’t want or couldn’t keep.
The one thing they have in common is that we adopted them from the Putnam Animal Relief Center or […]

The Fur Ball

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

I’ve known for some time that it’s not about “what you have.”  Lately it seems that it must be about who you take care of. 
We have a big need for a new animal shelter in our community.  I used to volunteer as a dog walker and I know the condition of the building and […]
