5 min read (Articles narrated by Mabel) I know I haven’t posted in a while, but this is a topic that has been on my mind a lot lately. Last month, we stopped fostering guinea pigs and resumed fostering dogs. We took in a small, easy dog named Emerson. But unfortunately, the rescue we foster …
Today Molly came across some Facebook comments that drove her crazy. As some of you may know, she volunteers for an organization called Bailing Out Benji, who spreads awareness about puppy mills. Recently, they shared a post saying something along the lines of “puppy mills exist because the public keeps funding them.” For anyone who knows the sad reality of the puppy industry, this is a very true statement. Yet, Molly was surprised to see many comments disagreeing with what the organization stands for. (Click title to read more!)

Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, and just about any other dog mixed with a poodle are very popular right now. Sure, they’re adorable, they’re not even an official breed at all, yet everyone has fallen in love with them.

During this COVID-19 pandemic, there is so much fear and uncertainty in the world. There are so many articles about the negatives during this time, so I want to take a moment to focus on the positives of the situation. (Click title to read more!)
I’ve known about the Wisconsin Humane Society for a while now because Molly and I used to live in Wisconsin! When she was looking for a dog, she stopped by some of their locations. However, I decided to write about them because they’ve been in the news a lot lately and I think it’s good …
I have recently heard a lot of debate about dog adoption requirements being too strict. When choosing to adopt a dog, you are making a huge decision. So, many rescues and shelters often have a list of requirements and steps to follow before a dog can be adopted. However, is it true that these requirements are becoming too strict?
