My Name: Rose

BFF: Bree Marsden

Greetings, pet lovers! My name is ROSE, and I am a Greyhound/Whippet mix. I was born into a Gypsy camp in County Cork, Ireland almost three years ago. I don’t remember much about my life before I came to New York to live with my mom, but I know I had a broken leg, hip, and pelvis and couldn’t get around very well. Now I am THE fastest dog in the park, not to mention the prettiest, friendliest, and most modest! A photographer even wanted to take these pictures of me and put them in a book that is coming out this Spring (you don’t think I would dress like this normally, do you?). Look for me in HOT DOGS by Sterling Press this April! Hugs and kisses and Happy Valentine’s Day to you all!

"Let's play soccer! Hi! My name is Bella, and I am a three month old Belgian Sheepdog, born Oct 22, 2007. I love to play soccer in the backyard, with my best friend, Steve. I can't quite catch the ball in my mouth, so I kick it, and chase it around! When I grow up, I want to be a therapy dog, and work with children. Until then, I have lots of fun chasing my tail, eating peanut butter treats, and best of all, taking long walks in the state parks. I am very happy taking long walks in the evenings. Then we come home, and I curl up on the sofa beside my human family, while we watch TV!

Now I am super happy and healthy. .I get my name not because I’m a howler, like a Beagle, but because I’m so excited when Mom gets home from work that I moan, groan, whine and make noises that I can’t even explain to you. I have a lot to tell her about my day. I also have a girlfriend named Zoie; she’s a Great Dane. We’re quite the odd pair I know, but I love her big kisses!

  My Name: Ed-grrr Horatio Tiggerbutt

BFF: Pate Eng

This is one of my rescued dogs. He was 3 months old and on the verge of death when I took him in. Every bone in his body could be seen. The next day, my vet asked if I had bathed him before bringing him in, at my yes, he asked if he had any fleas. I told him, no and he said that Ed would have died if I hadn't taken him in that day. You see he was so far gone, the fleas had left him. Now Ed-grr is a fat,sassy, ferocious, guard dog who like to sit on the back porch with me in the morning to watch the sun rise. He looked like an Ed-grr Horatio to me and he has a curly, curly tail that reminded me of Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. He's a good dog and I wouldn't part with him for the world.
